Hi Fuzzybear,
I think sometimes you have to trust your instincts. I was in a group once where I found one individual rather frightening. I was worried about whether or not I was overreacting until I found out this guy had been given the choice of group therapy or jail because he had been a stalker!!! I haven't been in a group since then; if I do try one I think I will only do single-sex (in my case thatt would be all women) or ask what the exclusionary criteria for the group is. Stalkers and other individuals prone to violence would make me decide against any group.
