thanks judy. This was the very first group session. But I tried her groups before, and one group disbanded due to people dropping out, the next time I got kicked out (long story). That was 4 years ago and I think I can overcome the issues I had then.
It really does seem like a nice group, and I felt hopeful after the session-- but then my individual session brought all this up.
I can see pros and cons to this dynamic with having her in a dual role. On the plus side she can actually see how I interact with people so can give me accurate feedback. She can also coach me on how to get more value out of the group in my individual sessions. But right now I'm just seeing the bad side-- feels like I've lost my advocate-- abruptly.
If falls is right (I hope) and it's my own stuff coming up here, maybe it will be for the good. It's just a lot more stress than I've had for a while. My relationship with the therp has been very smooth for a long time.
