what is group like?
a process group happens from moment to moment. there is no structured agenda for each 75 minute session and is open for however group members inhabit the space.
group members often share their lives and support each other, and also might disagree and face challenging feelings towards one another. members will encounter how a group therapist helps bring unconscious roadblocks to communication and connection between members into the open, helping put such thoughts and feelings towards one another into words. group can also incorporate somatic awareness of how emotions feel in the body.
outside contact between members of the training group is welcomed; however, any thoughts and feelings originating within the group should only be discussed in the group. any emotionally significant outside interactions with other group members should be brought back into the group for group discussion.
what is the time frame of group?
each group session lasts 75 minutes and occurs once a week. a weekly process training group is meant for long-term educational work towards relationship building with other group members. because of this, group members should expect to make a meaningful commitment to the group and expect to attend each week. absences do happen, but members are expected to prioritize their group commitment as much as possible.
new group members are asked to make a trial period commitment to the group for at least one month with the intention of a longer commitment. training group members attend group anywhere from several months to several years.
