Something about being in group therapy I found easier than individual T for some reason.
But you have to do what feels right for you in that moment. Perhaps talking about holding back your feelings and why or what that means for you?  |
Thanks, geez. My group T is a process-oriented group (gestalt based), so what tends to happen is - someone will bring up a topic, and then the session evolves to people reacting to people's reactions, focusing on what's going on between people in the room - leaving the original issue hanging out to dry. I find that it usually veers very far from the original topic, leaving the person initiating it in a vulnerable and dissatisfied position. I don't want that to be me.
