Group Process: What I Can't Give You As Your Therapist

I tell guys who've joined my men's group- Some of the things I can't give you as a therapist is a share from a peer that resonates with you in only the way a peer group members share can. Its just different. Sometimes when someone has been through an experience, or you've formed a relationship with a group member-they share something that hits you inside in a different way. Maybe some of the ideas you've been working on in therapy, maybe other things that have been marinating in the back of your mind- click finally. I have seen it happen, and know I will witness this more. And I feel privileged to be a part of this process, where men are healing together in such a special way.
