So I haven& #39;t talked about this on here... but I& #39;ve been in group therapy for the last two and a half years.
It& #39;s a weekly gay men& #39;s therapy group. There are nine of us, and one therapist.
(The last year has all been via Zoom.)

It& #39;s run by my individual therapist, and he invited me to join it. We all have him as our individual therapist.
It& #39;s a great, smart, perceptive group of guys.

The group is so helpful. I& #39;ve learned a lot about:
- myself, my self-image, my self-esteem;
- how I perceive other people, and how they perceive me;
- how I *want* to be perceived by other people, and how they want to be perceived by me.
- myself, my self-image, my self-esteem;
- how I perceive other people, and how they perceive me;
- how I *want* to be perceived by other people, and how they want to be perceived by me.
- the assumptions I make about other people, and the assumptions they make about me, and how often these both can be way off from reality.
- how I relate to other gay men.

Another thing I& #39;ve learned is how difficult it can be for two people to communicate. Each of you is bringing your own background, perceptions, assumptions, issues, and past experiences.
It& #39;s miraculous that two people manage to communicate clearly at all. But it can happen!

I& #39;m really thankful for this group, and I hope to continue to learn things from it.
