"If I can't bring it up here, where can I?" P.L. , psychotherapist, Illinois, about our groups
True and yes. Our groups are where to bring it up. Its amazing how much we wish we could say but keep to ourselves. And how useful it always turns out to be. To talk, for sure. But also the exchange of ideas, the practice studying cases and feelings, transferences and doubts all adds up to better practice.
What's been on everyone's minds here? Fees, always and still, a hot topic. Missed sessions, insurance issues, and erotic transference. And appreciation for the continuum of following cases over a longer period of time and getting to know ourselves and the dynamics of treatment in new and deeper ways.
It feels good to work together, to connect and to talk.

I taught group therapy in an MA program this fall and it was great seeing people get their first experience at watching a group in action. Keep up the good work here!
Hi Will, Thanks, so glad you stopped. I checked out your blog as well, and found some treasures there! I esp. liked your post on resentment and forgiveness!
