Rena Pollak - Life Changing Moments in Psychotherapy

Learn to lead process groups by experiencing group!

In this 4 hour workshop, we will focus on working with shame in group through experiential learning as well as brief lectures and Q&A. The best way to learn how to lead a group is by watching/participating in a process group in action.
