Seeking nourishing feedback about how you are in relationship?
The ideal member has some therapy experience, is interested in being part of a community process
and is open to exploring whatever comes up.
How does group psychotherapy differ from individual work? There are other people in the room. Your story is no longer the focus. There are many stories in the room. Through sharing your story and listening to the stories of others stuff gets stirred up, similarities and differences come up and overtime together we develop a group culture.
At its best group process results in a self-acceptance that can help you cultivate fertile soil for sustainable growth.
Groups provide a place to practice self-acceptance.
Group work includes grunt work. It requires consistent attendance and a willingness to engage with what disappoints, challenges perceptions of intimacy and stirs up regressed feelings that one might prefer to leave behind. It takes time, and often seems pointless. That said it leads to more fulfilling relationships, both inside and outside the group, both within the self and interpersonally. It is both a humbling and enriching experience that is an education in what it is to be human with other humans.
It does not make you a “better” person as much as it acclimates you to the human condition.
How does group therapy work?
The basic idea is to experiment with communicating with others, reflect on how you impact others, observe how they affect you and share what you want.
Who am I?
I am a practicing psychotherapist in Boulder, a graduate of Naropa’s Transpersonal Psychology Program. In addition to attending Naropa,
I have trained at the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis in New York City, the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis in Livingstone, New Jersey and the Center for Group Studies in New York City.
I offer over 30 years of experience in process groups.
Before becoming a therapist I was a visual artist and embrace an improvisational approach to group therapy.
This Group is ongoing and meets once a week in Boulder
Mondays 4-5:30PM
In order to join the group please schedule
