Therapist Process Training Groups
A Unique Opportunity for Growth and Connection
Are you a psychotherapist or other mental health professional seeking a supportive environment to engage in personal and professional growth? In response to several requests and in conjunction with the Toronto Institute of Group Studies, Shari Baron and Allan Sheps are offering two Therapist Process Training Groups.
These groups offer a unique opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and deepen your understanding of group properties. These groups are ideal for people interested in learning more about process groups and group dynamics, and who are looking for both professional and personal growth.
At the end of each meeting, we will have a brief discussion of our group process. These are intended as training groups, not therapy groups. Our focus as facilitators will be on "here & now" group experiences, rather than personal historical material. Each group will be limited to a maximum of 10 members.
· Build Connections: Engage with a community of like-minded professionals who understand the challenges and rewards of therapeutic work.
· Enhance Self-Awareness: Explore personal patterns and dynamics to better understand yourself and your work.
· Develop Skills: Gain valuable insights into group process techniques and improve your overall practice.
· Receive Support: Experience the healing power of shared experiences in a nurturing and non-judgmental space.
