Group Therapy
Sustaining positive relationships in our lives creates the foundational elements of our experience of happiness. Group therapy is based on the idea that many of the difficulties people have in their lives can be understood as patterns of relating with others.

All groups inevitably bring forward group dynamics that will resemble family issues for respective members. These real-time experiences allow for both understanding and healing within one’s relational life.
The general guidelines for a group member are to express the feelings you experience within yourself and the feelings that emerge about another group member. Other principles are to take your fair share of the time and to share the personally meaningful stories of your life.
When we meet in person, Teddy is most likely to be in the group. He may sit at your feet or ask for some form of interaction. Although you might not notice, he will often sense a feeling state and react to his experience of the group process.
