Reflective Essay On Group Analysis

Group Reflection 4 This week’s group was really interesting for me. As a group we experienced our first bit of “conflict” in our group. However, I did not actually feel like there was much of the conflict but more of a misunderstanding. Personally, I don’t have a problem with the way the co-leaders run the group.

I am hoping to be able to keep giving my opinions, in a respectful manner, during group so I can learn to be okay with conflict and
