Dynamic Group Therapy

Life patterns are a way of living or a lifestyle that is characteristic of an individual. The way we live and present ourselves can lead to difficulties with ourselves or with other people. In such cases, we may need help to better understand ourselves and work on changing behaviors that contribute to maintaining these difficulties. Often, this is most effectively done in a group setting with others.

Examples of life patterns may include:

  1. Feeling overly dependent on others

  2. Overinvolvement in others

  3. Avoidance of situations that may evoke negative emotions

  4. Difficulties expressing emotions

  5. Challenges in forming connections with others

  6. Issues with self-control

  7. Excessive control/rigidity

It is in encounters with others that we learn about ourselves. In a group, this can be achieved by examining how we are perceived by others and how others influence us. This is done through interaction in the group by providing and receiving feedback to others and by "practicing" new ways of interacting with others.

Practical Information:

The group consists of 10 group participants and two therapists (psychologist specialists).

The group will meet for 20 sessions, each lasting 1½ hours.

Before Starting:

  1. Preliminary interview where basic behavior patterns are mapped out

In the Group, Participants Will Work On:

  2. Working on individual core issues within the group
