Endometriosis Support Group: Find Your People, Navigate Chronic Pain Together

Starts on August 6

Living with endometriosis can feel like fighting a battle no one else can see. The flare days, the canceled plans, the appointments that go nowhere — it adds up. An endometriosis support group offers what's often missing from the medical journey: people who actually get it. At Shifting Tides, our peer support group is facilitated by a licensed therapist

What Is an Endometriosis Support Group?

An endometriosis support group is a therapist-facilitated space where people living with endo and related conditions — adenomyosis, fibroids, interstitial cystitis, and other chronic pelvic pain — come together to share experiences, validate each other, and feel less alone. It's not a medical lecture or a symptom-tracking exercise. It's a room where your pain is believed, your frustration makes sense, and no one asks you to just push through.

​

If you'd prefer 1:1 support, we also offer dedicated therapy for chronic illness for endometriosis and related conditions.

​

Many members also live with related conditions - PCOS, adenomyosis, and chronic pelvic pain - and some join before or after a hysterectomy. If you have been searching for a PCOS support group or a hysterectomy support group, you will find plenty of shared ground here.

Our Offering & the Story Behind Let's Get Cyclical

Most people with endometriosis have spent years being told their pain is normal — by doctors, by employers, sometimes even by the people closest to them. Let's Get Cyclical was created because support for endometriosis shouldn't require another fight. This group is a peer support space facilitated by a licensed therapist with one core belief: you deserve a space where your experience is taken seriously, without having to prove it first. Whether you're pre-diagnosis or ten years post-excision, you belong here.

 

A virtual, closed endometriosis support group — 6 weeks, meeting weekly via Zoom. Open to adults of all ages and stages: pre- or post-excision, post-hysterectomy, menopause, newly symptomatic, or years into your journey. Formal diagnosis not required. All identities welcome.

Led by Madeline Pucheril, LMSW, who specializes in chronic illness and reproductive mental health. Learn about her approach to pain reprocessing therapy.

What Happens in the Group?

Each session begins with a check-in. From there, the group shapes what gets explored — Madeleine brings her clinical understanding of chronic illness and reproductive mental health into how the group is held, while keeping the focus on peer connection and shared experience. Topics that tend to come up:

​

  • Coping with pain flares and the unpredictability of symptoms

  • Navigating dismissive providers and advocating for yourself in medical settings

  • The emotional toll of endometriosis on relationships, work, and identity

  • How to support someone with endometriosis — and how to ask for support yourself

  • Lifestyle changes, pacing, and what "managing" endo actually looks like day to day

Start by believing them. Endometriosis is invisible, and many people with endo have spent years being told their pain isn't real. Ask what they need rather than assuming. Learn the basics of the condition. Show up on the hard days — not with solutions, but with presence. A support group like ours can also help you understand their experience more deeply.

What is an endo warrior?

What lifestyle changes help with endometriosis?

"Endo warrior" is a term many people with endometriosis use to describe themselves and their community. It acknowledges the resilience required to navigate chronic pain, medical gaslighting, and the daily reality of living with endo. You don't need a formal diagnosis or a certain pain level to claim it — if you're showing up and fighting for your health, you're already there.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but common strategies include anti-inflammatory nutrition, pelvic floor physical therapy, stress management, and pacing activities around your cycle. What helps most varies person to person — and an endometriosis support group can be a great place to learn what's working for others in real life, not just on paper.
