sidony, I remember one other time you posted about group when it was smaller than usual and you had a good experience then too. Maybe 6 people is just too much for you at this stage. But 3 is just right. Maybe you can build skills with the smaller group and use them in the larger group. You just have to get people to not attend regularly so you are more comfortable, lol! Or maybe the all male format had something to do with it too. Are you one of the ones who prefers male therapists? Maybe you just find men easier to talk to. I am glad it went so well! Maybe these two guys can be your allies next time.
