- Humbrecht Law, PLLC
- Throughout our lives, there are times when we would like to discuss certain “taboo” topics, yet hesitate to do so. Often, we tend to stay on the sidelines out of fear of judgment. By suppressing this desire to have deep, real conversations about certain subjects, they become even more taboo, making it even more difficult to break through this cycle. The main idea of the group is to have a safe space where participants can discuss anything and everything. Almost nothing if off limits.
