Interpersonal Process Group for Professionals |
|
John Caffaro, Ph.D. CGP, FAGPA & Sophia Chang Caffaro, Psy.D. are co-leading an online Interpersonal Process Group for Professionals that is currently accepting new members |
|
An interpersonal process group offers a safe environment to identify and explore feelings, practice new, healthier ways of relating to others, and experience corrective interpersonal experiences. Participation in an interpersonal process group is a powerful way to expand self-awareness and improve relational abilities (how we connect, solve problems, respond to hurts, express ourselves, manage distress, etc. with others). It is also a place to give and receive support and feedback, gain comfort with vulnerability, and explore the complex emotions that come up in relationships with friends, family, romantic partners, work colleagues, etc. It is a safe place to work on the problems that create frustration, isolation, fear, sadness, or anxiety in the real world.
It may also help you to improve the way you treat yourself. As group members learn more about their thought patterns and behaviors, they begin to understand themselves better. This generally allows them to notice and pay more attention to what’s going on inside of themselves. In an interpersonal process group each member is invited to explore and process their reactions and feelings in real time, as they are happening. It is this immediacy – this real time processing – that creates brain and behavioral change that begins to transfer to the rest of life. This group is open to mental health professionals (ie., psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, interns, and graduate students) only.
