Group therapy
Therapy in a group, where the other participants are part of what heals, not merely an audience.
What it means
A group works as a world in miniature: the patterns you have outside appear here too, where they can be seen and tried differently. Often the most powerful element is discovering you aren’t the only one.
What we do with it in therapy
Group and individual formats complement each other well. The workshops I prepare are closer to an experiential group than to a lecture.
