Group counseling is a special field. People who know one-on-one case counseling can't do group counseling directly, but need to learn and train, because there is really a difference between case and group case.

Irving Aron's first book, Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy (5th Edition), is the authority of group assistants in the world, and he is still alive in his 80s. It is a living fossil in the field of psychology.

The group therapy 1 1 therapeutic factor proposed by Mr. Yalong shocked the group therapy community.

If you want to be a league secretary, you can choose to receive training or read books. If you really don't have that much time, and the group is about to start, then-at least look at Yalong group 1 1 therapeutic factors.

The biggest difference between group counseling and individual counseling is the membership relationship between groups, which can also develop into a therapeutic relationship. For a group, we should look at it from three dimensions: 1. Personal perspective. 2, the relationship between members (and the way of interaction), 3. The whole group regards the group as a whole and controls the cohesion of the group (which is also an important factor in 1 1 healing factors) as the driving force of the group. Fully promote the interaction between members and help them perceive their own behavior patterns. Perception is the first step of change and growth, and it is also a key turning point.

This is just a brief introduction. There are more interesting knowledge and experience in the group, and we can communicate more and make progress with each other when we have time.

Wish you good health and all your wishes come true.

Farewell.

Pay attention to safety+psychological needs+reaction ability.

Group counseling is a long-term and continuous process, which can not be summarized in a few paragraphs. However, a group psychological consultation will be successful and effective as long as the counselors and supervisors of the group psychological consultation first achieve the most basic two contents.

The first content is to prevent "self-testimony prediction"-yawning effect in group therapy.

?

Interestingly, we will admit that our yawning was infected by colleagues/friends/family around us, but cautiously deny that the part we didn't do well at work was affected by the whole working environment. After all, denying the whole working environment as an individual is suspected of "complaining" and "shirking responsibility".

?

("Self-fulfilling prophecy": If the medical staff are skeptical about group therapy in the inpatient ward, they will induce the group members in the ward to realize this belief in this direction. Simple understanding, that is, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the negative views of staff on the group will be passed on to patients)

?

To better understand this concept, I compare it to "yawning"-as long as you feel sleepy and lazy about group therapy, colleagues and patients around you will yawn with you involuntarily.

Therefore, after group counseling, we should first establish the prestige of the group and avoid this unnecessary infection.

The second basic aspect is to pay attention to exposure. Take the group counseling during the epidemic, we simply divide this remote counseling into four parts:

1, narrative. The counselors and supervisors present need not do too much guidance, but only ask the people present to truthfully describe what they have seen, heard and felt, allowing others to add extra, allowing tears in the middle and allowing emotional description. In the first part of counseling, we try to restore the whole picture through the descriptions of the people present.

2. Exposure/self-exposure. Emotion and emotion are dominant. At this stage, there are many processes of emotional venting, but be careful not to vent too much, otherwise it will become a negative meeting.

3. Exchange countermeasures and set an example. Please tell the people present their own problems and solutions, as well as their feelings after treatment. This process is particularly helpful to medical staff, who may encounter various problems in the process of receiving patients, such as technical, emotional, physical and psychological ... Through communication, everyone can understand what to do when encountering similar things during the anti-epidemic period. Very practical, this is a valuable experience that can be used immediately.

4. Summarize and sublimate. Sublimate everyone's experience and feelings to a certain height, and encourage everyone to face themselves, patients and relatives in the next epidemic work. Enhance your inner strength.

In this process, exposure is very important. If there is no self-exposure, it is impossible to build trust and goodwill, but if there is too much exposure, it may detonate the emotions of the audience and the scene will get out of control. After group consultation, everyone's original feelings will be aggravated and their original negative emotions will increase. Such group counseling is very dangerous.

The above are two basic contents of group counseling, which I hope will help you.

Mainly pay attention to the following matters:

1. Know what kind of group this is, whether it is a student or a staff member.

2. What is the purpose of psychological counseling?

3. Psychological counseling should pay attention to safety.

4. It is best to prepare for a rainy day and make a plan for the implementation of counseling.

5. Be prepared to improvise.

I hope I can help you.

Respect, safety, non-evaluation, leaders keep a keen awareness, and use the group strength here and now to proceed naturally.

In many ways, we need to support each other.
