GroupWRK – group therapy Brooklyn

(Un)fun therapy fact: most people assiduously avoid what they need most. As humans we want deep, authentic relationships. But what do most of us do about that? Some binge on social media, compare our real lives to other people’s illusory ones, and feel like pariahs. Some of us are out socializing up a storm, but too often end up surrounded by people we don’t feel connected to, telling zero of them the truth about what’s going on inside our heads. None of us is alone in feeling alone, but all of us secretly think that we are. If we want to break out of interpersonal jail, we need to remember how to talk to–and listen to–each other. My groups are unique in that the members are not only smart and self-aware, but have also done a lot of personal work (usually, not always, individual therapy with me or another therapist) before joining. Any group is only as effective as its members, and since it’s no one’s first psychospiritual rodeo, the level of emotional intelligence here is very high.
