How To Run A Process Group: The Process of Group Formation

If you're running a process group and need a refresher on some skills and activity ideas. In that case, this is a version of the first class I teach graduate students in their Clinical Psychology program.
As a psychotherapist running a counseling session with a family or more than one person, you might already know how intense dynamics can get. The process of group Group formation therapy doesn't have to be so intense and in this video I will explain what psychotherapy skills and tools you might need and love.

I am interested in seeing a video on how to run a group on emotional regulation! Thanks!

[@MyPeoplePatterns]

Aw- thanks for watching! I run interpersonal process groups, so they don't really have a theme like 'emotional regulation' or 'anxiety' - but will have a think about how i might slip some into a video for you :)

If I am licensed in one state as a therapist, am I able to provide groups in across states I am not licensed in?

[@MyPeoplePatterns]

I'm pretty sure the answer to that is 'no', sorry. You are only licensed in (let's say) California, you can't provide therapy for someone in Arizona - even if it's a group
