I don't think that's the sort of group I'd have trouble with, if I'm hearing you correctly. It sounds more like a support group?
It's a process group that would probably not be so good for me. Paying to have a bunch of unqualified people tell me what's wrong with me would probably not sit too well with me. If I made it past week one, I and everyone else would probably be very sorry.
I barely let my qualified therapist tell me the truth about myself. I certainly don't let him tell me the unvarnished truth. He needs to sand, bevel, and varnish it before presenting it to me in an attractive package if he's to have any chance that I'll accept what he's offering.
I'm not particularly proud of it. But on the other hand, I'm not particularly ashamed of it either.
If people want the privilige of telling me something unflattering, they need to be willing to take the time and effort to prepare it properly.
You know?
