My t at the time always encourraged me to do some work first with him, then bring things up in grp. As a matter of fact, when there was SO much turmoil, I took a breaks from grp as I remember.
Maybe the next session could be about what might be holding you back. There could be a lot more there than just resisting or letting go of what you might be holding on to.  |
Safety is definitely an issue. I don't feel safe enough in group. I've mentioned it even in group, and some of the members expressed their sadness that I felt that way. I guess it's because of how I was treated by some of the members in the past...I know that their reactions are important for their own growth and understanding...but it doesn't make me feel any better when I take the brunt of being in the hot seat.
