Reaction: Section One
We stand beyond the half way point of group sessions and I do not feel that the group is developing well into the transition stage. Because there was only one group leader today, I felt awkward to speak my peace about the state of the group progress.

I recognized that I can work on things outside of group and bring them into group and make constructive changes with the help of others. I learned that my perceptions were congruent with other members in the group. I also attained compassion and empathy for the group leader, because this cannot be easy to deal with so many strong personalities while trying a new skill.
