Group Therapy comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from November 2012 to March 2020.
Final Encouragement and Upcoming Joint Session
The host encourages listeners to maintain their immune systems and find balance by engaging with non-virus related topics. A "joint session" is scheduled for Friday night at 7 p.m. Pacific time to serve as a form of group therapy for the community. The segment concludes with a message of love and the sign-off "Serenity now."
Group Programs and the Power of Mindfulness
Group wellness programs create a "safe space" where individuals can witness their own transformation without the pressure of external "fixing." Dr. Mumber shares an anecdote about a high-stakes card game on an airplane to illustrate how deeply people can become engaged in the "game" of life while ignoring their survival. Mindfulness, as defined by John Kabat-Zinn, involves paying attention to the present moment "as though your life depended on it."
