Encounter Group

Encounter or Self-development group is focused on creating a safe space where participants can explore more about themselves, as well as others, through connections within the group.
The group follows the principles of the Person-Centered Approach: Acceptance, Authenticity, and Unconditional positive regard.

 
 
Why join the group?  

The group is focused on self-development. In the fast-paced environment, in between school, work, and social life, it sometimes gets difficult to create time for yourself. Therefore, the group attempts to bring back the spotlight on an honest and deep connection with yourself, as well as others. It is an opportunity to explore and express their thoughts and feelings, in a safe and non-judgmental space.

 

What does the group do?
    • It has the potential to bring a greater understanding of one’s problems, reactions, and behaviors
    • Has the potential to resolve personal or public problems through confrontation and consideration of all perspectives
    • Answers the need for belonging, being listened to and understood – being a part of the community and having support 
    • Facilitates the process of exploring oneself and others – finding oneself within and in relation to others
    • It invites the individual to listen to one’s thoughts, emotions, and feelings as deeply as one can listen to the other’s while respecting both 
    •  Depicts different ways of communication and tests how contact can be established 
There are certain psychological challenges that individuals may face when they are unable to discover their authentic self, issues that transcend culture, language, and religion. To share these struggles or seek support, we do not need to closely resemble one another or even be friends. It is only by being part of a group where one feels understood, free from judgment, and truly belongs, that we can discover ourselves through our relationships with others.
