The world’s lonelier than ever.

We’re more connected online and less connected in real life. Most people don’t have anywhere to be real anymore.

We’re here to change that.

We make it safe to Connect In real life again.

TSWC blends science, psychology, culture, and lived experience to make it safe for people to open up and breathe again.

We don’t talk in therapy codes or clinical labels. We talk like humans.

The cards, the circles, the stories: they’re all tools to help people find language for what’s been sitting in their chest too long.

Underneath it all is real science about how the body relaxes, how trust builds, how connection rewires the brain. But we mix it with the rhythm and humor of real life (music, slang, food, side-eye, laughter) because that’s healing actually happens in real life.

TSWC is what happens when community replaces shame and storytelling becomes medicine for all of us carrying more than we should have to.

  • 🃏 The Deck

    It starts with the cards — a trauma-informed tool that turns small talk into real talk. Each prompt is grounded in behavioral science and designed to help you name what you carry, one conversation at a time. It’s a way to build emotional muscles, deepen self-awareness, and breathe a little lighter together.

  • 🏠 The Unburdening Rooms

    Local and digital circles where people gather to talk, laugh, and let go. In these rooms, no one’s fixing anyone — just real humans practicing release, listening without judgment, and reconnecting with what it means to feel seen. The rooms are built for belonging, creating spaces where vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s courage in motion.

  • 🤝 THE UNBURDENING COUNSELORS

    For those who need to go deeper or speak one-on-one. Our Unburdening Counselors are trained peers with lived experience who know how to hold space for real, raw conversations.  They’re not therapists — they’re peers with lived experience, trained in trauma-informed ways to guide others through unburdening sessions.

  • 🗣️ The Network

    When something heavier surfaces, our network bridges the gap to licensed clinicians. Unburdening Counselors can connect you to trusted professionals for specialized therapy, crisis intervention, or long-term healing support. It’s a seamless handoff — no judgment, no red tape — ensuring no one carries their weight alone, no matter how heavy it gets.
