Interpersonal Relationships Group Therapy

This group addresses relationship difficulties. “Love" and "work” are the two most potentially satisfying areas in our life, according to Freud. Therefore, what is also true is that love is potentially most painful. Many people don’t realize that the ability to be a partner in a quality romantic relationship is based on healthy relationship skills that are learned, rather than something we are born with. Group Therapy is an excellent laboratory for people to experience themselves and others as they currently are in their relationships; and to learn to respond at a level which is productive rather than destructive.

One of the most important tools in learning to relate as a healthy adult is knowing your own feelings. It is not uncommon to hear “I just don’t know what I’m feeling,” or “I feel empty.” Learning how to identify and to then communicate your emotional experience is what allows for greater intimacy. No coincidence then, that the word intimacy may be understood as into-me-see (isn’t this what we all want?).

Likewise, the ability to listen is also a learned skill. A common obstacle in romantic love is when we do not hear what the other is saying, but rather hear what we want or need them to say. When we practice listening skills, we realize the other person is revealing important information about themselves, which, when denied, results in painful feelings of rejection. When we are heard in our interpersonal relationships, we feel validated and seen for who we are. This is what makes relationships intimate and healthy, as opposed to frustrating and dysfunctional.

This group is time limited, and will meet for 12 sessions staring 7th May and ending July 23rd. The group is taken by Karen Gerber, and sessions are on Thursday evenings between 7.30 to 9.00pm. Karen is a clinical psychologist and a Member of the BPS & BABCP. Karen will hold an initial assessment meeting with you, where you can discuss through your concerns and problems, and whether this group is right for you.
