I have about 6 years of experience in a process group. I think everyone feel shy and uncomfortable. It's a strange and uncomfortable thing in the beginning but soon people warm up to each other and if the group is a good fit it can be pretty healing. I think it offers and nice add-on to individual therapy. Especially for trauma. I am a pretty shy person too. Don't be worried if it takes you longer to warm up to the group than others. I found later in starting and finishing these kinds of groups that if I just said in the beginning that I am shy and it might take me a while people are understanding and patient. How long does this group run for or is it ongoing?
