Change is Easier in Good Company

Talking about social situations helps. Being in one helps differently.

In individual therapy, we can examine a pattern closely, what sets it off, what it protects you from, what it costs. That work matters, and it's most of what I do. But some patterns only reveal themselves in the presence of other people, and only shift there too. The racing thoughts before you speak. The certainty that you're being evaluated. The replay afterward. A group gives you somewhere to meet those directly, with people working on exactly the same thing.

It's less exposing than it sounds.

These groups are built to feel manageable from day one. They're small, 8 people, maximum. Everyone is screened in a private one-on-one conversation first, so you'll have already met me before you walk in, and you'll know something about who else is in the room. Nothing gets sprung on you. Nobody gets put on the spot. We start where it's tolerable and build from there, together.
