Post a reflection on the clip from a group therapy session.
- Analyze the impact of Jimmy’s disclosure on Jimmy and on the group as a whole. What do you notice about the level of trust and cohesion within the group? What do you think the group leaders did in sessions prior to this one that led to the disclosure and the discussion that followed?
- Analyze the group leaders’ facilitation skills. When did they choose to speak and when did they choose to remain quiet? How did their comments and behavior influence the discussion? What do you think the group leaders did in prior sessions that created these dynamics?
- Describe your own readiness to lead group therapy sessions with clients with substance use disorders. Do you have experience leading groups? What skills do you currently bring to this type of work and what group facilitation skills would you like to develop further?
