Gay Mens’ Group

Sydney Group Therapy and TrainingNEXT GAY MEN’S GROUP COMMENCING

Wednesday 21 March 2012.

‘REAL RELATING’ – A Sydney Gay Men’s Intimacy Group

If you are a gay man who struggles in your relationships, group therapy can help you to develop the skills you need to create deeper connections with yourself and other men.

Are you finding that your relationships with other gay men are shallow and dissatisfying? Perhaps you have lots of gay friends, but you never seem to be able to go deeper in your connection with those you are closest to. You have a feeling that there must be another way of relating, but you’re not sure what it is or how to do it. Group therapy can help.

How Group Therapy Works

  • There will be up to 10 group members
  • Groups will be held on a weekly basis
  • The initial commitment will be for 10 sessions
  • The group will be closed once started and no new members will join during the 10 sessions
  • You will need to participate in the group to get the most out of it
  • You will develop personal goals that you will work on in the group

The group will have a ‘here and now’ focus. This means you will share your thoughts and feelings in the present moment with the group and other members
Giving and receiving feedback with other members is a part of the process. This is how you learn about the unique way that you relate to others

Group Therapy

Group therapy is a powerful therapeutic way of working on many personal issues that get in the way of you living a full and rich life. Group therapy is powerful because it harnesses the power of learning through relationships. This means in group therapy, you have an opportunity to learn how to relate in more effective and productive ways through hearing, observing and learning from others and receiving feedback on how other group members relate to you.
