What Is an Interpersonal Process Group?

 

An interpersonal process group is a powerful form of therapy where a small number of individuals meet regularly under the guidance of a trained therapist. While approaches to group therapy can vary, all aim to create a safe, supportive, and cohesive space to explore personal, relational, and societal challenges.

 

How Does It Work?

​

Group therapy offers a space to share concerns, gain deeper insight into your own experiences, and learn from others. As members build trust, they support one another through honest dialogue, reflection, and mutual understanding.

 

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Better understand yourself and your emotional patterns

Improve the way you relate to others

Gain tools for coping with life’s challenges

Experience meaningful connection and support

 

Each 90-minute session provides time for members to express their thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals as openly as possible. Over time, members not only deepen self-awareness but also become therapeutic resources for one another. (AGPA, 2024)

​

Why should I join a group?

 

The group functions as a microcosm of your everyday life. The ways you interact in group often reflect the roles you play in your family, workplace, and community. This provides a unique opportunity to observe and work on interpersonal patterns in real time.

Ask yourself:

Do you tend to take care of everyone else?

Do you try to control outcomes or people?

Is it difficult for you to be vulnerable or ask for help?

 

These questions—and others—often arise naturally in group. Common concerns addressed include:

Social anxiety

Difficulty trusting others

Low self-esteem

Life transitions

Boundary setting

And much more
