It's good to know that I'm not on my own in feeling this way - thankyou so much for responing.
I tend to say enough in the group, but never things that are really about me - more stuff in response to what other people say.
> I also had issues with suicidal thoughts and SI. My reason for being in the group was to try to become more comfortable talking about my SI to other people. But group didn't realy accomplish that for me. I just felt more hidden and secretive.
I think that this is likely to happen with me too. I can't see myself telling the group about my SI and the therapist is a different one to the individual one I saw, so she doesn't know about the SI/SU.
> I can see how you'd feel that you've been left high and dry. Can you talk about this with the facilitator in a session, or before or after one? Or can you contact your old T and mention it?
We've been asked not to talk to the facilitator before or after the session because the group may feel that we are being secretive. I broached this subject in the group (saying something like, 'what if there was something I wanted you to know, but didn't want the group to know?') but that didn't come up with any answers.
