Starting Over...

Group Therapy

I've been attending group therapy since a month before the end of the semester. Just as I was getting used to the people in my first group, I was told it group would disband for the Summer. If I wanted to continue treatment, I would have to start over.

My new group is decidedly more diverse than the first. On average, the members are older and come from different walks of life. It is also a longer standing group where the newest member besides myself joined nearly 2-years ago. There are all these rules about subgrouping (forming alliances) and outside contact. The members of the group are not supposed to even acknowledge each other on the street. These were the rules with my old group, but I find it frustrating this time because I feel so uninformed.
