Yes, just like individual counseling, 集团 counseling sessions are free to any currently enrolled 365bet student..
A great place to start is to talk about what sparked your interest to join the 集团 in the first place. The first few sessions of a 集团 usually focus on establishing 信任. Members work to create a safe and mutually respectful environment that allows them to talk openly and honestly about their struggles without judgment.
How much you may want to disclose or express about yourself depends completely on your own comfort level; you will never be “forced” to talk about anything personal outside of your comfort-zone. You can benefit from the 集团 even when you say very little, but listen carefully to others. With time you may allow yourself to be more 脆弱的. Tell the 集团 members what is bothering you. If you need support, let 大家都知道. If you think you need to be challenged, let them know this also.
Confidentiality is an essential element in creating a sense of safety and 信任 in 集团. While counselors must adhere to professional and ethical guidelines (Confidentiality and 隐私 Statements), 集团 members are not legally bound to the same standards. Group members need to recognize the importance of confidentiality and not discuss personal information outside of 集团 in order to enhance the success of the 集团.
Research has shown that Group Counseling tends to be just as effective as Individual counseling, and in some instances, perhaps even more beneficial for some due to its inherent component of social interaction and support. Just as with individual counseling, 集团 counseling can have benefits and some potential risks. Since counseling, in general, often involves talking about unpleasant aspects of your life, it’s normal to experience uncomfortable feelings. Effectively working through these potentially unpleasant emotions often results in better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. However, if you start to feel overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings, it is vital that you express this to the 集团 counselor(s), who will typically be available for a short time after the 集团 session. Additionally, you may also choose to share with the 集团 your feelings of being overwhelmed.
New 集团s are offered each semester. Some 集团s will be in the morning and some will be in the evening.
