It is the final session of a group you are leading and members are giving each other feedback. One member, Jody, says to another member “You know, there are negative feelings that I have been holding onto for weeks—and before it’s too late I think I am going to have to tell you what I’ve been feeling about you!”
- What intervention would you make at this point?
- Would you encourage or discourage Jody from directing her negative feelings toward a particular member whom she has not to this point confronted? Why?
- What would you say to a group beforehand to lessen the danger of this type of belated confrontation?
- What are some ways you might help members create a support system for themselves once they leave a group?
- How would you prepare them to cope with possible setbacks and failures?
- What suggestions might you make to members for maintaining gains they have made and promoting further personal growth?
