On Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 I facilitate an on-going women’s group. How does a man facilitate a women’s group? Very carefully.
Many women in this group have had experience in women’s groups facilitated by a female. The opportunity to have a male perspective and presense in a safe environment is one of the unique features of this group.
The group is structured in a way that allows each member to set the agenda for her particular issue. These issues range from intimacy in relationships; self esteem and assertiveness; balancing family and career; resolving past trauma.
The power of group therapy for individual memebers is not just the experience of hearing various points of view but that each member knows that she is contributing to another member’s growth and healing.
