Interpersonal process group for therapists 

A weekly interpersonal process group for associate and licensed therapists. It works the same way as my other process groups: we meet to find out what happens as we try to be with one another, with no topic and no lesson. The only difference is that everyone in the room is a therapist.

​

That can make it harder, at first, to stop working. You know the language, and you may be used to containing yourself. Here, someone else holds the group, and you can arrive with your own needs, reactions, and influence.

​

In this group you might:

​

• Take off the therapist mask, and risk being seen as uncertain, angry, needy, playful or moved

• Own your feelings, and let others have theirs, including about you, without rescuing, fixing or defending

• Notice when "I feel" is really an interpretation of someone else, and find what's underneath it

• Stay with what's unclear or not yet in words long enough for it to say something new

• See how pleasing, withdrawing, intellectualizing or performing keeps you out of contact with what's happening between us right now
   

It's a psychotherapy group, kept separate from supervision, training, or any need to show clinical skill. You can read more about what happens in a group on the Groups page.
