In reply to Jealousy in Group, posted by tterees on May 15, 2004, at 23:28:14
i never thought of it as jealousy per se (denial, denial) but i always hated it when the therapist would spend too much time on one person, or wouldnt let anyone else get a word in edgewise. i'm somewhat softspoken (maybe that's why i love the net-- you guys have to listen! ha!), so whenever i start to say something, i always get cut off, or ignored.
in one group i was in, i felt the patient was purposely trying to get attention (or maybe it's a part of her illness) and the therapist was playing right into it... i was so frustrated. and then at the end of the hour, we got to the last girl, and the t. said "i'm sorry, we're out of time" so the girl never even got to speak. i would have been so upset if i were her!!!
anyhow. no words of wisdom. but i relate.
