Seeing Group Members Individually. After a few meetings, Brenda calls you and requests a private session. When you ask her why she wants an individual session, she tells you she is having trouble trusting most of the members, and that is keeping her from participating. You suggest that she bring this matter up first in the group, and she tells you that she simply is not ready to take this risk.

Would you be willing to see Brenda individually? Why or why not?

What are some possible advantages of seeing her for one session?

What are the disadvantages?

If she agreed to bring up her lack of trust in the next group session, what interventions might you make?

How would you assist her and the other members to deal with this trust issue?
