Group Support Prompt #5: Elements of Yalom Group Therapy- Self Disclosure
Hello everyone to Group Support Prompts Discussion! I hope you are all being easy on yourself & reaching out to group chats to get support this week.
Last week we discussed: Elements of Yalom Group Therapy- Here & Now Experiences!. Thank you to all who participated and shared their thoughts for discussion. I enjoyed them. I hope you all did too. If you didn't share yours, please share them here and I look forward to reading and discussing them with you.
Yalom's emphasis on self-disclosure within group therapy sparks an interesting conversation: How comfortable are we sharing our vulnerabilities with others, and how can it truly shape our connections and self-understanding?
This week's prompt: What are some personal boundaries you navigate when considering self-disclosure? Are there certain topics you would never share in a group, and if so, why?
Take a moment to reflect on it and share your experiences. I look forward to hearing and discussing with you all!

What are some personal boundaries you navigate when considering self-disclosure?
I only share as much as I want to share. If I don't wish to further disclose something, I won't, no matter how much someone else may want me to.
@KateDoskocilova It is understandable to maintain appropriate boundaries and control over personal disclosure. What kinds of feelings come up for you when considering how much to share with others?
@ASilentObserver What kinds of feelings come up for you when considering how much to share with others?
To be honest, I feel just fine. I expect of them to respect that, and if they do not, then that is something that they should deal with, not me. I am not responsible for how someone else will respond, and most definitely not going to push my boundaries for their sake.
