Question: Question about addictions recovery group rules?
(Posted by: Craig B on 2008-07-27 10:59:39)
I am a newer leader in an addictions/ hurts/ habbits recovery group which is affiliated with my church. Today during our sharing another leader who has been in a conflict with one of the other group members, mentioned his desire not to come because of the other person's pressence. That other person was offended that the leader chose to mention his name in the conversation and felt that he should have shared on a generalized level rather than a personal and direct level. My question is 1) is there a standard for group share that explains if this is wrong or right 2) your personal thoughts. View #1 - it is a private setting, anything should be said in confidence and members should feel they can participate openly and freely. View #2 - even though it is a private setting, explaining your thoughts and feelings to include that other person's name is innapropriate and counterproductive to the team's efforts. Things should have been handled in private with the two and a mediator Thanks |
