What is an interpersonal process group?

An interpersonal process group is a confidential, long-term form of therapy where 5-8 adults meet weekly with a group therapist. The group can talk about anything, including members' personal experiences, members' reactions to each other, and the group itself.

Naturally, challenging and recurring patterns in members' lives and in our culture(s) show up in the group. With the group therapist's support, the group helps members understand and experience these patterns in reparative way. In other words, the "painful thing that always happens" is seen clearly, held compassionately, and responded to differently.

This process is a powerful and reliable way to heal early childhood wounds, interrupt painful patterns in adult relationships, and experience safe vulnerability with other humans.

Why interpersonal process for tumultuous times?

Individualism and Internalization: Our culture prefers that we struggle alone (individualism) and that we think the struggle is our personal failing (internalization). When a lot of us are scared, angry, and sad for good reason (like now), struggling alone and blaming ourselves feels bad and doesn't help. Group therapy can help us to share burdens and release blame, freeing us up for joy, well-being, and meaningful work.
Strange Future(s): It's hard to know what next year will look like, much less the next decades. The future is a stranger. Interpersonal process groups help us meet the stranger, connect with her, and understand her without losing ourselves in the process. This is not only relevant to our human relationships, it's a resilience practice in rapidly changing times.
Collective Trauma: The pain of what we've done to the Earth and to each other is collective. It emerges naturally in groups, waiting to (finally) be witnessed and responded to with maturity and compassion. This pain is also filtered through our unique identities and ancestries; while it is shared, it is not the same for everyone. This too emerges naturally in groups, helping us process identity-specific anger, grief, moral injury, and alienation. It goes without saying that doing this is really important right now.
Collective Resilience: We can't carry it on our own, but we can learn to hold the pain and possibility of these times more fully, together. Humans have sat in circle for millennia, sharing joys and sorrows and coming to know themselves more deeply through experiencing another. This is an old and vital practice, worth remembering.
