I am finishing my Group Therapy class. What a revelation it has been! This may have been the best class I've taken in my training to date. I've learnt a lot from all my classes, but "group" according to Yalom, simulates family and is a microcosm of our world.
We had some really interesting experiences. Got to know more about my self and my colleagues. We made headway, lot's of headway. We got to try out theoretical ideas in the 'group lab' and we walked away richer for the experience. The class ends this Thursday and I am rather sad, although there's talk that we will continue, as a non academic group, to meet on our own.
I can't tell you how wonderful my colleagues are! Yes, that's an honest statement. They are eight fantastic women: talented, bright, amazingly compassionate, scrapping to know more to help others. In a world so focused on "me" and making the next big bucks, it's refreshing to really know women who are focused on helping others meet life's challenges. I am privileged to know them, to study with them, to share my joys and pain with them.
It's been a really good semester. I know I will look on this time we've worked together with a grateful heart!
