The therapy groups that CAPS offers are sometimes called interpersonal process groups because they focus on the interactions between the group members. Group members relate to each other inside the group in similar ways that they relate to others outside the group, which can create a microcosm of the outside world. Group can be seen as a safe “laboratory” where you can learn more about your relationship patterns and experiment with new ways of relating. As just one example, if you are a person who tends to act like everything’s fine on the outside even when you don’t feel fine on the inside, in a USO group you might experiment with allowing your genuine feelings to show.
