How it works
A small group, something real from each person, and enough time to talk it through.
The conversation starts at the session. It doesn't have to end there.
How a session unfolds.
No presentations, no expert at the front. Just a small group of peers giving one another their attention.
- You arrive
Say hello, grab a drink if you're there in person, and settle in.
- You meet your group
Five to seven peers who understand your work, plus a moderator to guide the conversation.
- You put it into words
Take a few minutes to write down what's on your mind. A situation, a difficult decision, or something you're trying to figure out.
- Everyone gets a turn
When it's your turn, the group gives your situation its full attention. They ask questions, offer different perspectives, and share what they've tried themselves. Then you do the same for someone else.
- You take a moment
Before wrapping up, think about what stood out, what shifted, and what you might want to try next.
- The conversation carries on
At in-person events, the groups come back together. Stay for a drink, meet more people, and see where the conversations go.
Around 90 minutes of small-group discussion. In-person evenings typically last around three hours in total. Remote sessions may be shorter.
The conversation doesn't end when the session does.
A good conversation can change how you approach something. A good connection can keep helping long after. Peer Therapy gives you a place to stay connected, follow up, and keep learning from people who understand your work.
Your group stays in touch
The conversation you started stays open. Share what happened next, ask another question, or check in on how someone else is doing.
Keep what was useful
An anonymized recap of the included situation rounds brings together the suggestions, perspectives, and takeaways from the conversation. Something to come back to when you need it.
Your community keeps growing
One group is just the start. Discover more sessions, meet other practitioners, and build connections across your professional community.
Good conversations don't happen by accident.
Small on purpose
In front of thirty people, you tend to speak in generalities. With six, you can get into what actually happened, ask questions, and hear from everyone.
The details are the point
Real problems are messy. The context, the constraints, the things you've already tried. We get past generic advice and into what actually matters.
No stage. No audience.
Nobody has all the answers, and nobody comes empty-handed. Everyone brings something: a question, an experience, or a perspective that might help someone else.
What we share stays between us
It's easier to speak openly when you're among people who understand and respect what's shared.
What people say afterward.
A few honest questions.
About participating
Is this clinical therapy?
No. Peer Therapy is professional peer support, not clinical therapy. We talk about the situations we face at work and learn from one another's experiences.
Do I need to prepare?
Not really. Come with something on your mind: a situation, a decision, or a question. You'll have a few minutes to put it into words before the discussion starts.
Do I need to have a problem to share?
You don't need to be struggling with something. A decision you're considering, an experience you've learned from, or a question you're curious about can all start a useful conversation.
How often do events happen?
Product Therapy typically meets about once a month, with around ten events a year and a summer break. Other communities may have different schedules.
Are sessions in person or remote?
Both formats are possible. Each session tells you where it takes place, how long it lasts, and what to expect.
Joining a community
Who can join?
Each community brings together people with relevant professional experience. Product Therapy, for example, is for practicing product managers, owners, and leaders.
We review requests to make sure participants share enough professional context to learn from one another.
Who reads my request, and how long does it take?
Organizers from the community you've selected review your request. You'll hear back within 30 days.
Does requesting to join reserve a place at an event?
No. Once approved, you can register for individual sessions. Approval doesn't reserve a place or include a ticket.
What does it cost?
Each session has its own price, shown before you register.
What if there's no chapter in my city?
Tell us where you're based when you request to join. We'll add you to the interest list and let you know when a chapter opens near you.
Can I join more than one community?
Yes. Each community has its own professional eligibility requirements, so you may need to be approved separately.
Privacy and recaps
Are conversations confidential?
Yes. We ask everyone to treat what others share with care and respect. You can talk about what you learned, but not identify another participant, their organization, or who shared what.
Are groups recorded?
Each participant chooses whether their own situation round is included in a recap. Included rounds are recorded and summarized with AI assistance, with identifying details removed. If you leave your situation out, your round is not recorded. Your choice does not prevent the other rounds from being recorded. Recordings are deleted under our retention policy.
Who can read the recaps?
When a recap is created, it's available to your group and members of your professional community.
Recaps focus on ideas, perspectives, and useful takeaways, without identifying who shared them. Our principle is simple: share the learning, protect the people.
Come meet your peers.
You don't need all the answers. Neither does anyone else. Bring a situation, a decision, or a question. We'll talk it through together.
