THERAPY GROUP FOR THERAPISTS
THE PURPOSE AND VALUE OF GROUP THERAPY
Group Therapy presents the opportunity to reshape our lives with insights into the lives of others. Each new group is a fresh start and a chance to learn so much about ourselves. Groups can strongly influence our behavior and help us make changes in the direction we want. You can share and work through personal problems in a group where you can trust the others and they can trust you. Although the experience of first joining a group can be daunting, the experience of making profound changes in the interest of your own health and happiness is exhilarating and life affirming.
A good deal of what is usually called external in our lives is at the same time deeply internal and greatly influences us as we develop. Groups allow us to explore relationships with others and at the same time probe deeper into ourselves.
Research has shown that groups are particularly valuable for people who are depressed.

I shall lead an on-going therapy group for therapists, exploring who we are now and
how we desire to be in the world. This group is for people who are dedicated to personal
growth, developing meaningful relationships, and living creatively. Together we shall use
the power of group to activate our imagination, drawing on the techniques of group
analysis, transactional analysis, gestalt, psychodrama, and redecision therapy, and opening
the possibility for change to occur in our lives.
We shall meet each week in North Berkeley at a day that works for all concerned. I am
committed to conducting this group for one year, but given the serendipity of group
process, we may continue as a group for much longer. I had the good fortune to be
mentored by some of the founders and innovators of group therapy and my intent is
to impart some of the wisdom I have gained accross 40 years of practicing the art.
Please call me to ask questions and arrange a pre-group interview to discuss your goals.
