Process Groups
Process Groups facilitate deep change and transformation. By being in a process group you can fully experience yourself both as an individual and in relationship with others. In the group energy you will uncover deeper levels of consciousness, feeling and energy. You will have an opportunity to reveal yourself, express feelings, open muscular blocks that inhibit your life force, take risks and be supported along the way.
In the secure environment of a process group old patterns of negativity that limit consciousness will be challenged, propelling you forward towards living an authentic life of passion, meaning and connection. Process groups are about having a commitment to living a life of your highest potential!
More about Process Groups ...
What is a process group?
An Energetics process group is a group of people who meet regularly to work on their deepest issues within a supportive environment. The group leader is a qualified Heart Energetics therapist who is a specialist at working with group dynamics.
What happens in a group?
An Energetics process group is based on Integrative Body-Mind Psychotherapy, so the session will be a combination of movement, expression, sharing, and processing. There will be physical exercises to open muscular blocks that limit consciousness, feeling and life force. The processing will be drawn from a combination of Reichian therapy, Bioenergetics, Core Energetics, Trauma Resolution, and Family & Systemic Constellations. You will not always do an individual process every night, but will be expected to support others. Often it is when we are supporting others, that we gain our biggest insights into our own process.
How do I join a group?
To join a group, you will need to make contact with the group leader. If you have not met them before, you will need an interview, and some individual sessions with a core energetic therapist may be recommended. In some instances there is a waiting period to come into a group.
How long do I need to stay in the group?
Most Heart Energetic process groups are ongoing. Initially, you will need to commit to attending six consecutive group sessions. While you are settling in to the group you will have a chance to bring any feelings or concerns that are elicited from the group, back to the group for processing.
What can I expect to get from being in a group?
Groups are a great way to fully experience how we relate to others. We get an opportunity to see our distortions, receive and give support, feel our own blocks to loving, take risks and learn new ways of connecting and relating. You could also expect to feel improved vitality, energy and deeper capacity for intimacy and commitment.
What happens if I want to leave the Group?
If you are thinking of leaving the group for any reason, we recommend that you commit to at least two more groups so you can get help in exploring unconscious reasons for leaving. We have a very low attrition rate in our groups. Most members want to keep coming.
Do I still need individual therapy sessions?
Process groups are driven by group need and group dynamics which assist and accelerate individual process but do not replace it. Most group members would benefit from having individual sessions with their therapist at least monthly (as a minimum).
What does it cost to be in a group?
The cost of a process group varies from $50.00 per session for a two hour group up to $99.00 for a three hour group. Most groups meet fortnightly and you are financially responsible for any missed groups.
