GROUP THERAPY

enables individuals to communicate feelings

with power and sensitivity

Relational Group Therapy is extremely powerful, cost effective and can profoundly impact on your marriage and other cherished relationships.

Each therapy group is made up of 5 to 8 individuals, both men and women, and meets weekly for an hour and a half. Partners in a marriage or other relationships meet in separate groups.

Groups may be comprised of currently married, divorced, or single adult members who have in common a desire to improve their abilities to engage in and sustain more rewarding relationships.

An initial consultation will help me select a therapy group that will best fit your particular needs.

When appropriate, I may recommend individual therapy sessions to complement and help you better integrate your group therapy and marriage counseling experiences.

Below are some further points to consider:

Group Therapy will help you:

• Resolve your hurt and anger while developing a capacity for greater intimacy

• Develop a healthier interactional style that will be less self-defeating

• Develop a more empathic listening-style that will enable others to feel safer and more comfortable when discussing personal issues with you

• Express your feelings in a manner that will evoke compassionate understanding and empathy rather than defensiveness in others

• Better understand how painful childhood experiences have led to repetitive relational patterns that influence your perceptions, expectations and emotional responses in current adult interactions
