Enhancing readiness to do groupwork

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Ramu, I must have missed something? Who is asking you to do groupwork? Who or what program has invited you to participate so that you feel you need to apologize. I for one get the sense that someone has hinted to you that your comment... 


RI: "The gentle reader will notice that I am trying to abbreviate a therapy process, which might span over several weeks or months or longer, into terse simplicity or rationalized abstraction. I don't mean to undermine the purity of the psychodrama field or be disrespectful. If I appear to have crossed the line, my sincere apologies. "
     seems to imply that you feel someone has even indirectly suggested that you are or would undermine the purity of psychodrama, be disrespectful, abbreviate a therapy process... etc .   But I'm not aware of who that is or what invitation that represents.

     I appreciate that you work hard and in spite of that participate as you can in our common endeavor, and I wish you well. 

      Warmly, Adam

  Subject: Enhancing readiness to do groupwork


  I am tethered to a computer on most week days in my job as a Project Manager. I belong to a psychodrama group that meets weekly (not daily). 


  I am finding that I have a mental challenge or inner block that makes me hestitate while trying to warm-up, access my inner self or conscience and confront the truth about various relationships in my social atom that need to be reconfigured via a series of psychodramas. 


  The gentle reader will notice that I am trying to abbreviate a therapy process, which might span over several weeks or months or longer, into terse simplicity or rationalized abstraction. I don't mean to undermine the purity of the psychodrama field or be disrespectful. If I appear to have crossed the line, my sincere apologies. 


  The story of my struggle may be more succinctly descibed as follows:
  I don't mean to blame a computer (inanimate object), but after hours of electronic communication (using emoticons, not emotions), I don't feel a 100% excited to do groupwork.  I earnestly want to do adequate pre-work so that I can be 100% excited to go to group and do groupwork whereby I have found an access to wrestle out of my mental challenge I described earlier. 


  I thought of posing this question to the GroupTalk community so that I can obtain more feedback and possibly some guidance to learn about other novel choices that I may not have previously considered. 


  Cheers, 


  Ramu
