About us
Maybe you know the feeling: it is not that easy to talk about yourself — and to say that you are really good at something and want to help other people. Nobody believes you anyway. Or at least it sounds odd. Naive, perhaps, in this day and age.
And at the same time, we all wish they existed: people who want to do something good and truly mean it.
You know what?That is exactly how we set out and built mygruup – a place where people who often do not seek help out of shame are no longer alone.
And you know what else?It feels really good to do exactly that.
Maybe you feel the same way? Maybe there is something you have preferred to keep to yourself. Something that does not feel so easy to talk about: skin picking,hair pulling,picking.
And you know what?That is exactly what we are here for.
Three things matter to us along the way.
- 1
Positivity
We believe a positive attitude makes everything a little easier. And yes, that is easy to say — some things are genuinely hard, enough to make you cry, unfair, and sometimes enough to make you despair. We do not pretend it is no big deal, and we have respect for the causes. But negativity does not get you a single step further — it only makes things harder. That is why we try to stay positive, even when things are not going smoothly. Setbacks are part of it, just like your good days.

Your self-efficacy
Maybe it does not feel right now as if you could change anything. But that is exactly what we can change together. We are convinced: with the right training, you will quickly notice that you can change many things for the better. We will show you how, and provide you with exercises to match.

The power of the group
Many things that feel enormous on your own become lighter the moment you realise you are not the only person with this topic. Someone who knows your feelings, their consequences — and maybe the feeling of shame, too. Suddenly you no longer have to hide or explain anything. Together you find courage you did not have alone — and all at once, more becomes possible than you thought. In short: in the group you are no longer alone, and the group gives you a lot of strength.
With us, you are in good professional hands, too.
Behind mygruup is Healthy Projects, known for the certified video consultation service webPrax, used by more than 12,000 therapists. The mygruup program was developed under the scientific guidance of Prof. Dr. Steffen Moritz. Its didactic foundation builds on principles of Metacognitive Training — a well-researched, group-suitable learning approach developed by Prof. Moritz. In shaping the content, we are also in professional exchange with researchers at the University of Oxford and McGill University in Montreal.
The groups are guided by trainers who are trained specifically in this program — people who not only know what they are doing, but live it with empathy and a positive attitude, together with you.
What that looks like with us
Imagine a small circle in which everyone shares something — even if nobody has to spell it out. Over eight weeks, you meet regularly, live and online, in a fixed group of around ten people. A trained facilitator is there and makes sure everyone feels safe.
You do not have to show anything or prove anything in the group. If you want, you stay anonymous — behind an avatar, without a camera. You only share what feels right for you, at your own pace. Sometimes you talk, sometimes you simply listen. Both are completely okay.
And you do not leave empty-handed: in every session you get small, concrete tools you can try right away — in your everyday life, step by step.
And now?
Use this moment.
The hardest part may already be behind you: reading this far. It shows that you are ready to change something — and that is wonderful.
Use the energy you have right now, without committing to anything: take a calm look at our info form. And if it feels right, fill it out — that way we can better assess whether you are in the right place with us.
