Just for Therapists: Group Facilitation Skills Training

Running a powerful therapy group can feel like pulling off a magic trick. Let go of the pressure to have it all figured out, and watch as your clients step in with empathy, insight, and authentic care.

Do your groups ever feel like they’re struggling to find their flow?

Perhaps you can relate to these struggles…

  • Your clients don’t seem to want to talk in group or open up about themselves. Sometimes they just say, “Everything’s fine.”

  • It sort of feels like your group is mostly group members taking turns just talking to you and not relating directly to each other. You’re would love to see the group members guide the group flow but don’t know how to set it up.

  • You notice a few voices dominating while others retreat, and you’re unsure how to balance participation.

  • You’re trying to maintain structure, but the group keeps pulling in unpredictable directions.

  • You’re not sure how to address disrespectful comments made by group members towards you or each other. It’s unclear how to manage tension in group without your clients feeling dismissed and shut down.

  • You’re not sure how to find and manage the balance between drawing people out emotionally but not leaving them feeling overly exposed.

  • You catch yourself being distracted by your own thoughts and emotions- anxiety, frustration, disengagement.

Here’s the good news: Running rewarding groups that excite and engage your clients is A SKILL you can learn.

Just like we did.

We’re two regular therapists teaming up to share what we know and LOVE…
