Figured it was about time I blogged, and about time I said something about what I'm doing at the moment.
It's been difficult to both get round to it, and then work out what's ok to say due to the highly confidential nature of the environment I'm in.
Basically for the last 3 months I've been on an intensive group therapy programme - or as we like to refer to it - a personal development course - which is exactly what it is!
So three and a half days a week I join 15 others (when we're full) of all ages and backgrounds and a number of therapists, to learn more about ourselves and the way we interact with the people around us. To learn skills for life, to overcome difficulties, to problem solve, to better recognise our emotions and feelings and to learn how to suitably share them and work with others.
The programme structure is changing next week, but currently we have a mix of small group sessions, art therapy, awareness group, community meetings and various other bits and pieces. We are a real community who support each other and work with each other for each other. (Yes I know that was too many 'others'!)
It's pretty much like having a full-time job, and is hard work and draining. We learn so much each day, and think loads - both for ourselves and others. We try new things and are pushed (or encouraged) out of our comfort zones.
I'm looking forward to all that I'm going to learn, and the benefit it will give me, and how much more able I will be to fulfill the purpose God has for me once I've finished!
