    Icon 8: Questions 1 (p. 31) and 1 (p. 32) 1) What therapeutic value do you see in asking members to make eye contact with another person in the group as they are talking about a problem area? This writer believes the therapeutic value that can be found in group members making eye contact with another person in the group as they are talking about a problem area is that group members are able to observe the others reaction and emotions that go along with the verbal communication. It is easy to misinterpret something that is being said or to miss something when one is not aware of nonverbal. Also, by making contact with the other person it can show respect, understanding and involvement.…

    For this week’s reflection I chose to discuss number one. After reviewing the question, I realized that there have been times where I did not feel “connected” during a conversation. It may have been because I was bored with the topic and tended to start thinking of something else while the conversation was still going, not even knowing I was doing so. Or other times I may have not known the full concept or understood completely what was being discussed in the conversation. I think everyone has the tendency to feel disconnected from a conversation, whether they did not comprehend what was being said or if they did not have any interest in the topic.…

    After meeting members where they are and accepting the members in that space, leaders and other members of the group will allow members the opportunity to grow and change with continued acceptance. Many individuals may need to process changes in their relationships, whether they are changes that they are in control of or that someone else in their life is making. Changes in any relationship can be difficult, but when you factor in multiple relationships, particularly when considering polyamory which completely leaves the mononormative framework of a partnered couple, the complexity deepens. Additionally, those embarking on a CNM relationship or new to a CNM relationship may need support while they try to establish the specific relationship boundaries that work for them. Are they only looking for recreational sex?…

    Gay men may have many trust issues even if they do not have HIV/AIDS, but compound the issues with having an illness that has much stigma and revulsion connected to it by the general public can lead to an individual have very little trust of others. Therefore, it is imperative to create a trusting atmosphere within the frame work of the group. The first thing that I would convey is confidence and a true aspect of caring about the group during pregroup and each subsequent group with emphasis during the first meeting, by going over confidentiality, making it clear that group is a safe place to share, informing the members of their rights and responsibilities (keeping what they heard and who they see in group confidential), and priming members for a positive experience. My goal is to be organized, empathetic, and attentive to the individual and group concerns by actively listening. For example; by modeling unconditional positive regard for the participants and by being free to disclose my personal thoughts and feelings in a genuine…
