Psychotherapist's Therapy Group! |

Therapists need support too!!! For both
men and women! Finally! A therapeutic support & supervision group just for psychotherapists! This is a feminist therapy focused group that is for therapists who need/want the additional support, both professionally and personally in their own lives. It is often so difficult for the helpers to help themselves! We are constantly talking to clients about having good self care, yet we frequently neglect our own needs! As therapists, we are often shy about seeking out therapy services other than individual therapy, yet group therapy can be just as effective, if not even more effective than individual therapy and far less expensive! It has been demonstrated that therapists who seek out therapy services themselves make better therapists and have higher client satisfaction! This is a great way to get the therapeutic support that you need and do it with your peers! This is especially important for therapists who work in private practice and do not get enough contact with other therapists or social support! Even being introverted, which many of us are, the group support is extremely important! I myself am an extroverted introvert. I have great people skills but am an introvert at heart. I run a lot of groups and realize the power of group therapy. It is a wonderful therapeutic tool that can have a huge therapeutic impact in your life! I myself have often wanted to attend a therapy group just for psychotherapists because I realized that I wouldn't be as comfortable in a therapy group with people who were not therapists too. I wouldn't want to deal with other people's feelings about having a therapist be a member of a group. As you know, people project a lot onto you immediately when they learn you are a psychotherapist. Dealing with this in a group situation where you are seeking support yourself only would inhibit your own ability to get the support. So, with this knowledge of myself, I decided to start this fantastic group! I am wanting therapists who will also bring their gifts, creativity and talents to this group! We all have something to offer and we all have something to give one another. We learn from each other and our clients. Can you imagine how much more you can get from attending this group? Group costs $35 - $50. Interns and Veterans welcome. |
