I DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS DRAMA IN PROCESS GROUP!
Oh my god? So after an anxiety attack and a half during process group, I actually managed to talk about my gender struggles?? And everybody listened and was really supportive??? Like I don’t even know what to do with this information except to feel happy and relieved but jesus murphy holy shit.
I went to my first day of process group at Ascend today. It was good I think. I was the youngest but not by much and I don’t think that'll make it weird in any way. Actually I’m pretty convinced one girl who said she was 20 is about 15 like no way she’s older than me :P Anyway, it seems like a pretty open and comfortable environment. We’re allowed to interact a little more than at the DBT place. And serious stuff isn’t so taboo here, like not being to say anything more serious than “I feel bad” or “something bad happened” is ridiculous and still doesn’t make sense.
The other women’s issues are more in the realm of interpersonal stuff I think. Social anxiety (the really serious avoidant kind) and extreme relationships and temper and that kind of thing. At least that’s what it seems like right now. So I’m not sure if I’ll really end up close to anyone. I’m unstable in so many other ways I would rather my relationships not be an added source of struggle. I don’t mean that in a bad way like I don’t mean they’re not ever worth working for I just think I need to focus on me for a little. I feel like I’m saying something bad, merg.
They’re all animal people though, that’s a plus! Two hate spiders but I’ll let that slide for now. Harry know’s he’s awesome he’s an independent arachnid who don’t need no approval.
What is a process group?
Process group is held four times a week at my facility. It is a group where clients practice “confronting” others about things that happen in the facility. The format is very structured. For example:
Client A: “When you (peer) did… I felt . . “Client B: “I hear that when I … you felt … Now hearing this, I feel …”Client A: “Now hearing this, I feel … “
It’s an awkward format because it doesn’t follow normal conversations, but it’s a good way for clients to be able to share feelings and perception in a non-threatening, non-judging way. Think about how hard it can be to go to someone and say, “Hey, this thing that you did made me feel angry/uncomfortable/happy/proud/inspired etc.” Of course, the point is to get to the point where you can say this to another person without fear of judgment or rejection, but it’s incredibly difficult.
Process group isn’t all about confrontation, though. It’s a way for clients to identify difficult feelings within the group and individually. They practice social skills and asserting their feelings within a safe setting. In a process group, members will also practice speaking in process comments, which is just a fancy way of saying “nonjudgmental observation.” It’s very different to be in a room and say “This feels awkward” (judgment) vs. “I’m noticing there’s a lot of silence in the room” (objective). Process comments usually start with “I’m noticing,” “I observe,” “I’m curious about,” etc.
HOW MUCH MY CLIENTS HATE PROCESS GROUP
