Running head: SELF ESTEEM 1 Self Esteem Student's Name Institutional Affiliation Date

SELF ESTEEM 2 Self Esteem Group counselling is a great way to help divorced men build their self-esteem. This group aims to help divorcees develop self-esteem and improve their relationships with women. The counselling plan is for divorced men affected by the recent divorce process. It will be vital for them to discuss their feelings, experiences and thoughts with other men who are also going through this process and need support. Therefore, it is essential to establish a group counselling plan which would allow divorced men to develop self-esteem. The goal of the group counselling plan is to provide divorced men with a safe space in which they can work on building their self-esteem and improving their relationships. The first step will be to develop a list of questions that participants will answer at the beginning of each session ( Berg et al., 2017). These questions will help the facilitator gauge the participant's self- esteem improvement. After developing the list of questions, participants will be divided into groups of three or four people each. Each group will have one person who has been divorced for at least six months and one who has been divorced for less than six months but has started to experience issues with trust. There must be diversity in these groups so that individuals who might not feel comfortable talking about their personal life will not feel embarrassed when paired up with someone they know socially. Session 1: Introduction and self-esteem-building exercises Generated: 1/11/2022 This session will introduce the group and discuss how they can achieve their goals. The participants will be asked to share a personal story about how they felt when separated, how they felt after the separation and what was the most challenging part. The exercise will be followed by

SELF ESTEEM 3 a discussion on what the participants can do to build their confidence and self-esteem. Therefore, a pen and a notebook are necessary materials to help the participants write recommendations. The leader should ask each participant to write what lead to the divorce and discuss each scenario without mentioning their names. Session 2: Exploring the reasons for their divorce, including the impact on their self-esteem Generated 3/11/2022 The group will discuss the reasons behind the divorce and how it has impacted their self- esteem. They will also explore ways to increase their self-esteem through activities and exercises that are beneficial not only to them but also to their children. The focus of this session will be to provide a safe space for divorced men who might feel vulnerable about themselves or others ( Berg et al., 2017). The organizer will facilitate a discussion where participants share reasons for their divorce. The facilitator will then lead them through exercises designed to improve their overall well-being. Therefore, the group would conduct strength-spotting, which allows participants to receive feedback on their self-esteem from the group ( Berg et al., 2017). In addition, Participants will be asked questions about how their divorce had impacted them, including how they felt before they got divorced and what it was like afterwards. They will also be asked questions about what they did during or after their divorce that helped them cope with the situation. Session 3: Discussing ways to rebuild their self-esteem, including discussion groups and support groups Generated 5/12/2022

SELF ESTEEM 4 The focus will be on discussion groups as well as support groups. During this session, men will be encouraged to discuss their feelings about divorce and how they are rebuilding their self-esteem. They will also be encouraged to discuss any issues that may interfere with their ability to rebuild their self-esteem. The discussions should include personal anecdotes and strategies that have worked for them personally, as well as suggestions for how others might approach this process with their self-esteem issues ( Corey, 2015). The discussion will allow men to share their divorce experience and how they have been able to reestablish themselves and move on in life. Additionally, the facilitator will ask questions regarding the process of the group counselling session. Session 4: Working through how the divorce has impacted their life, including family and financial issues Generated 7/12/2022 This session will focus on how the divorce has impacted their life, including family and financial issues. Men often feel a lack of control in these situations, and many will experience guilt or shame as well as sadness or depression. The facilitator will explore ways to understand these emotions for better management ( Corey, 2015). The first part of this session will discuss what they have learned about divorce. The group will discuss how they feel about their situation and how they hope it can be improved. They may also bring up any personal goals that are still relevant to them. The second part of this session will focus on exploring ways the group can make changes to improve their lives. This could include discussing ideas for budgeting and savings or learning more about coping with stressors such as unemployment or debt ( Corey, 2015). Finally, participants will be asked to share any new goals they have set for themselves

SELF ESTEEM 5 following this conversation which may include attending counselling sessions more regularly or improving self-esteem through positive thought patterns such as gratitude or optimism. Session 5: Working through any lingering issues from the divorce, such as anger or guilt Generated 9/12/2022 The goal of this session is to improve the mental health of the divorced men in the group by helping them to overcome any lingering issues from a divorce that may be causing them to feel anxious or depressed. The first activity will be a group discussion about how they are feeling. Participants will discuss what emotions they are experiencing and why their feelings are so strong. The second activity will discuss any negative feelings they have had in the past. The facilitator will discuss how they think they might have felt those feelings before and how they can recognize them ( Corey, 2015). An open discussion is conducted about ways to deal with negative emotions when they happen again and what actions would help them stay calm and balanced. Finally, the facilitator closes with a guided meditation whereby they reflect on what they have learned and how they can move forward in a way that feels best for themselves and their families. Session 6: Discussion of some final thoughts and expectations Generated 11/12/2022 The goal of this session is to discuss the final thoughts and expectations of the group. The facilitator will also explore how each member can apply what they have leant to their lives. The session will begin by reviewing the group's goals and discussing any questions about what has been covered so far ( Corey, 2015). Then the facilitator will discuss the importance of self-esteem in a man's life and how divorce can affect that self-esteem. The men will share their personal

SELF ESTEEM 6 experiences with divorce, how divorce has affected their relationships with women and their own sense of self-worth. In addition, the facilitator will explore ways that each member can use what he's learned from the group to improve his relationships with women and himself ( Berg et al., 2017). Finally, the facilitator will encourage the participants to continue working and building their self-esteem while seeking assistance where necessary. Recommendation I recommend that counsellors leading this group know the theoretical underpinnings and scientific evidence around self-esteem improvement. The most crucial thing counsellors can do to guarantee that the client's requirements are addressed in this area is to be deliberate in their contact with clients. This may be done by grasping the client's needs and how they relate to their overall life objective. Counsellors should also incorporate intercultural competencies into group planning since they help people from diverse backgrounds collaborate successfully.
