I've been with my current group for over a year now, bur I still don't feel I belong there. I feel I don't understand them and they don't understand me. I haven't felt this alienated from a set of people since before I started therapy twenty years ago. I hoped to draw strength from this group, but I find I need strength from other sources just to stay here.
This is not my first group. In my previous group I felt loved and accepted. Why can't I find those feelings here? I have raised these questions at the group, but I always felt insulted and rejected by their response. My wife says to dump them. My current T was a facilitator at my previous group, so perhaps she can explain what bound me to it. Perhaps, of course, it was her physical presence. Perhaps it was the fact that no one there called me a fecking arsehole.

Yikes! I'm sorry Cantexplain. Maybe it's time to find a new group. I agree with your wife there is nothing threrapeutic about
being called awfull swear words. Yowsers. |

Grrrrr! I'd leave the group, whoever called you that part of the anatomy is an idiot.

A slivver of insight.
As an Aspergic, whenever I get lost, I try to take control of the situation. But this group in particular refuses to let me do that. I think the previous group granted me some kind of seniority (which I had earned by being in the group the longest), and that was OK.

I have given up on that group and am now groupless.

Oh, I thought your insight was great and you would work with it. Any plans to try again with another group?

I might think about a new group next year. But seniority doesn't come cheap!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
