INTERPERSONAL GROUP THERAPY
The therapy groups I lead are designed for motivated individuals who want to develop greater self awareness, increase their ability to talk about their emotions and express their needs, receive support and learn to connect with others more deeply.
Unique advantages of group therapy include:
- Help being more emotionally present and engaged
- An opportunity to tell the emotionally significant story of one’s life
- A place to learn from the experience of others
- The ability to give and receive honest feedback
- In-the-moment help developing a broad emotional vocabulary and growing one’s capacity to experience a full range of emotions
- A place to expand one's ability to empathize and emotionally connect with others
- A venue to practice being emotionally authentic
People who benefit from joining a group include:
- People in individual therapy who want to deepen their therapeutic work
- People who want to improve their marriages/relationships
- People engaged in a recovery journey
- People who grew up in challenging family circumstances
- Adult children of alcoholics
- Adult children of parents who were emotionally immature
- People who would like to become more emotionally aware
Seldom in life do the same group of people get together for an hour and a half each week to talk confidentially in an emotionally engaged way. Doing so can be quite powerful.
I'm happy to talk with people on the phone for 30 minutes free of charge to answer any questions about interpersonal group therapy in general and to talk about how a person may join a new or existing group.
