“Only the wounded physician heals… and then only to the extent he has healed himself.” – Carl Jung
A Personal Growth Group for Therapists
Time TBD
Most therapists enter the field after having had their own struggles (anxiety, depression, neglect, abuse, trauma, fractured families, illnesses, deaths, etc.). In fact, it is often because we have suffered that we are able to offer the kind of understanding, compassion, and authenticity that so benefits our clients.
Yet, owing to the nature of our work — wading into intimate contact with the pain of others — it is possible for clinicians’ suffering to be reactivated in session with their clients. For this reason, it’s important for therapists to continue to explore their own issues.
If you’d like to do some of that work in a group setting, with warmth, support, humor, and real permission to dig into your stuff — and if you like the idea of championing the healing of your fellow therapists — then this group may be for you.
If you are interested, or have any questions, please contact me. We’ll need to meet and talk before deciding whether or not to move forward.
What: An Action Group for Therapists
When: TBD
Facilitator: Tom Kubasik, LCPC
I have run groups of many kinds for over 20 years (at Spring Harbor, Support & Recovery Services, Broadway Crossings, and my private practice), and I regularly serve as a therapist to other therapists.
Cost: Sliding scale of $25-50 for each 2-hour meeting. (If cost is your only obstacle, please contact me.)
(Note: This group is not currently running, as I’m not able to offer an additional evening group at this time. If you would nterested in participating in such a group during an afternoon time (for example, Mondays at 3, Tuesdays at noon, or Wednesdays at 1 or 1:30), please contact me.)
If you would like to participate, or would like more information, please reach out directly to me: info@getme.org, or 207-699-4979
