Interpersonal Group Therapy

Have you noticed that you are constantly in familiar unhelpful dynamics with family, friends, partners, work mates and/or employers?

Sometimes our styles of relating to others are unhelpful, despite good intentions. Interpersonal Group Therapy offers an opportunity to learn more about these “interpersonal” patterns, which include but aren’t limited to:

  • Often feeling angry, frustrated, or dissatisfied in relationships
  • Having difficulty trusting others
  • Struggling to forge close (or meaningful) relationships
  • Feeling that you often have to please others
  • Relying on alcohol or drugs to socialize
  • Feeling that your relationships are shallow
  • Experiencing anxiety in social situations
  • Frequently experiencing loneliness
  • Having trouble with self-esteem
  • Struggling to communicate your thoughts, feelings and needs directly

Interpersonal Group Therapy is designed to be especially helpful with these sorts of problems. It involves 6 – 8 people who meet together weekly with a trained therapist to work through relational issues that lead to psychological symptoms or dissatisfaction in relationships.

Shawn Goldberg, psychologist is now running these groups servicing Melbourne’s inner west and south east suburbs.  For further information you can contact him on (03) 9500 2866 or (03) 9391 6233.
