GROUPS 2 M2.2.2, M2.2.3, AS2.2.4 Most members identified triggers freely and shared the thoughts they were having before and after a trigger. Theme was one of willingness to learn but struggling with feelings that hurts and angry responses were justified
Describe any challenging group dynamics and your assessment of these dynamics. When Bob and Mary defended each other, other group members became frustrated and would stop talking. Bob and Mary have the potential to side track the group with their agenda. What group member roles did you see played out? (e.g. silent member, dominating, clown
,
peacemake
r, etc. Bob and Mary wanted to dominate to not have to face their issues. Jim tended to get quiet the quickest. Peter at times tried to be the peacemaker and take on more of the facilitator role. I would intervene when this occurred.
What
was accomplished and/or what results occurred during this meeting? Many members learned about triggers and responded positively to the content of the material. Although Bob and Mary
’
s behavior was inappropriate, other members could see that it was unhelpful and it reinforced their desire to change.
Linkages Content / Description What were some key actions you took? Why? What did you do well during this meeting? What skills, tools or interventions did you use that were successful? I presented to material well, using the white board to explain terms and walk members through the CBT model of anger. I used facilitation skills to respond to members feelings, ask questions and summarize responses. I helped establish group expectations by revisiting group rules and redirecting members to the rules when going off track. What did not go well during this meeting
? Describe what you could have done differently. Describe how you could you have been more effective. Bob and Mary
’
s behavior at times derailed others from being able to share honestly. It created at antagonistic atmosphere at times. I could have been clearer with Bob and Mary earlier in the meeting regarding the group rules and why these where important to follow. I also could have asked the group how they were feeling about Bob and Mary
’
s view of the material. I could have used the issue more as a teaching opportunity to explore the pros and cons of the A.B.C model verses Bob and Mary
’
s approach to their anger.

. Professional Response / Evaluation Content / Description
In retrospect, were your responses selected through deliberate reflection, linkage, and planning? If not, how did they arise?
Explain what cultural
and/or ethical
issues or dilemmas arose in the interaction, and how you responded. What might you do differently in the future?
Do you need more information, knowledge, or advice on this situation? Where will you find it (e.g., in the literature, from a colleague, or from a supervisor)?
What goals, plans and professional responses are needed future interactions?
What questions will you follow up with your supervisor on regarding this case Reflections, Professional Growth and Next Steps I am still new to facilitating groups and am not always comfortable in responding to difficult members or group dynamics. I would like to observe others leading more groups to see how they handle things. I will also review material on group dynamics from my course work to identify more strategies and understand the current development of the group. Two members of the group are African American, one is Latino and three are Caucasian. There may be cultural issues affecting group member’s
responses to anger or each other. I would like to explore more with the group what the cultural expectations are regarding anger. Questions for Supervision (Identity follow-up questions to be addressed with your field supervisor based on this interaction) What suggestions does she have for me in responding to Bob and Mary? What other intervention models might be helpful to address issues of anger in group members?
What will you do differently based on your review, feedback or research? I will speak with Bob and Mary privately about feelings or concerns they are having to increase rapport as this may help them to engage better in the group. I will develop an exercise to help the group explore the pros and cons of anger. I will discuss group beliefs about forgiveness and how these impact their approach to anger.
