This Humanistic group therapy is another path to self-exploration through the supportive power and dynamic of the group. Group therapy provides a safe space to:
– Explore interpersonal relationships.
– Model other’s experience and learn from their strengths and their struggles.
– Experiment with possible new behaviours (e.g., assertiveness, leading or stepping back).
– Universalise what was perceived as a “personal” problem: others also have that experience.
Most of our psychological and emotional ailments find their roots in the relationship context. Although personal growth is about the reconnection with the self, this is, ultimately, possible only when “tested” within the social context.
Facilitators: Toufik Messabih and Sheila Boland. Sheila is a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and works as a clinical psychologist in HSE adult mental health. She also teaches yoga. Her work has a strong focus on trauma, resilience and cultivating compassion for ourselves and others.
