Unnoticed Observer - Listen to Real Group Therapy

This week we speak to a young girl who is deeply stressed about the state of the world and climate change. We dive into plastic surgery, how “fake” people are these days, and what’s wrong with today’s younger generation – all from the eyes from someone who is very young herself.  We also talk about the shift from childhood innocence to adulthood and how effectively manage that change by surrounding yourself with happier people and creating a better environment. 

On today's podcast episode, we speak to someone who's unable to express themselves emotionally and struggles with masking their feelings. This leads to a discussion on the importance of being in touch with your feelings and choosing healthy relationships even when that's not something you're familiar with. We also touch on the healing process and giving yourself permission to forgive and forget rather than waiting for someone else to offer an apology. 

This week we speak with a client who feels insecure about her weight. This brings up a discussion about today's beauty standards and how it feels to be uncomfortable with your body or appearance. While feeling good can sometimes be a lifelong battle, in this episode, you'll hear some tips for building confidence and some relatable stories from others who don't fit the "societal mold." 

In today’s episode, we meet a new member who is struggling with depression and loneliness after the death of their younger sister. After admitting to using LSD for an extended period of time, the group discusses interesting facts about increasing brain activity, moving on from old behaviors, and finding a group of people that enable you to take care of yourself.  

Is your path predetermined by fate, or is life just a combination of choices? This week we dive into the experiences and choices that shape our lives and how to build inner strength despite the negative things that may have happened to us.

Today we discuss happiness – what it means to each individual and how addiction can influence that definition. The group also has a few words of encouragement for those who may be struggling or going through a low point.  

This week we tackle an issue everyone seems to face at some point in their lives: The voice inside your head. The one that tells you that you aren’t good enough or that you’re a terrible person. The one that confirms every negative thought you’ve had. Well, first of all, it’s not true. And secondly, there are ways to tell that voice to get lost. Listen now for more .

This week we get some life advice for living life fully, speaking up for yourself, and getting to a place where you’re happy with who you truly are. Our group leader also introduces an interesting concept of looking at stages of life like a checkpoint.  

It’s been three weeks and a client has still refused to talk. Well, except to himself. After entering treatment after a psychotic break, a client struggles to talk about his experiences of hearing voices and talking to himself. As the group shares their support, we also welcome back a member who relapsed, talk about how faith can help anxiety, and discuss how to open up after having trust issues. 

The group takes part in an interesting activity – writing down all the words they’d use to describe yourself. The good, the bad; the positive, the negative. What ensues is a fascinating conversation about the ways we portray ourselves and how it may differ from how others see you.
