Group Reflection

Decent Essays

During group, I was nervous because I still have no idea what topic I should bring up. I wonder if I should begin talking, but I am also a bit nervous to share something that I might be judged for. I find it very relaxing when Dr. U has us take deep breaths before starting group. Either way when Dr. U was mentioned that we did not have a specific topic to talk about, I really wanted to just share a random story, but something stopped me. I appreciated when Lucy shared how she feels that she is a very emotional person. I connected with her, because people always know how I am feeling based on my facial expressions.
In addition, Sergio, Mathew, and Veronica shared that they were taught to not show their emotions and that whatever they are feeling sad they should keep them inside. It’s interesting because I also connected to them. As the oldest child, I always expressed some form of strength by not crying when my family was going through hard situations. I explained to my classmates since I learned how to hide my emotions, my siblings see me as the strongest member in the family. Regardless, when I feel like I crying I do it at my own time when no one can see me. Hearing my classmates agree to this topic was comforting to me. Furthermore, I noticed that when I was expressing how I consider myself a sensitive person, I wanted to cry, but looking at Angines smile made me feel happy again. I truly appreciate everyone in group.
