This ongoing group is for men who have already completed the
12-week Level 1 group I offer, or its equivalent. This
is both a support and a process group, which means that
members use the group both to deal with their current life
challenges and to explore how relationship issues re-surface
between themselves and other group members. While safety
is still crucial, this group also focuses on growthful
risk-taking, which involves increased disclosure, honesty, and
exploration of member's experience within the group.
Concurrent individual therapy
(or its ready availability) is required, depending upon how
complete the experience of individual therapy has been.
This group is less structured than Level 1 and members set
their own agendas and goals, and challenge one another more.
