WHAT IS GROUP? 

People come to group to address a variety of issues: improving relationships, dealing with life transitions, working through consequences of trauma and abuse, finding more satisfying work, improving health, and other concerns.  Group offers the opportunity to meet on a regular basis with others who share the common goal of making meaningful and significant changes in their lives.  The group includes men and women at different ages and stages in their lives so that we learn from one another’s unique perspectives and experience.

WHAT HAPPENS IN GROUP? 

Group members help one another to define goals, to clarify how to achieve those goals, and to overcome internal and external obstacles to success.  The group shapes itself to the needs of its members, operating differently to address varying concerns.  In group, you not only talk about issues, you directly experience your patterns of coping in your relationships in the group.  You deepen your understanding of these patterns, clarifying what you do that is effective and what is ineffective.  You can then build on strengths, overcome deficits, and develop new inter-personal capacities.  For example, if you have difficulty asking for help, you may have that difficulty in the group.  You might then take the risk to reach out to others rather than withdraw into isolation.  At different times, you may focus on current life situations, early childhood issues, fantasies or dreams.
