Indicative Content |
Facilitated experiential group
The content of the experiential group process arises from within the process itself. The purpose of the experiential group process module is to provide students with a facilitated group experience through which they will have the opportunity to develop the personal process competencies that are necessary for their development as counselling trainees. To this end, group members will be facilitated:
a) To attend to their experiences in the context of the here-and–now group.
b) To reflect on the experiences and behaviours occurring in the here-and-now group and to address the various individual and group process issues that arise.
