Thanks for your post, eastcoaster! It helps to hear that someone else was in a similar situation. Just like you say, I've found myself stepping in a bit and acting as "interviewer" instead of "interviewee." I'm so used to teaching classes and leading (a different kind) of group, that it just comes out sometimes-- and it's frustrating when you have that skill but the person leading the group does not. A couple of weeks ago, I suggested to another participant (who I see really struggle, week to week) that perhaps he might want to consider looking for an individual T also and have some diagnostic testing done. Well, he took my suggestion and reported back that he has now been diagnosed with Asburgers & possible psychosis. He is now feeling hopeful about pursuing treatment. I wonder if I'd kept my mouth shout if the facilitator would have ever pointed him in that direction?
