Group Therapy Testimonials

"I am really glad that I did this - it was a big risk for me. I think that I have come away with more strength and focus to move forward with my goals in life. I also got to meet and know a great, diverse group of men with whom I can hopefully count of for friendship and support in the future."

"This was a unique experience, which I forced myself to do so that I could listen and share my feelings about this stage of my gay and male life. I found identifying with others and being able to gain from a random group of men with whom I may never have otherwise met most helpful."

--

"People challenging me was quite daunting at first and having to speak up was nerve racking however after doing so it has actually helped me out in the end!"

"What I learned from participating in the group is it is OK to trust people and let them into my thoughts and emotions. I also learnt that the negative impression I have of myself sometimes is not truly how other people see me."

"I found the mutual support that most people have similar issues most helpful. I realised that the way I see myself may not be the way others see me."

I was really nervous to begin the group therapy and was unsure what I would get out of it. I quickly realised that all the other guys could relate to my problems and I didn't feel so alone. I had no idea the group therapy would help me so much with my confidence and help me find a good relationship. Plus I now have a group of really good friends. Thank you Adam and Clinton!

"The flow of the group worked in part because of Clinton and Adam's skills in bringing it into focus and reaffirming thoughts, ideas and experiences of the group members. There was room for exploration and individual experiences, which was valuable and I am glad you allowed this to flourish. Overall, the group was valuable, enlightening, surprising and at times it was fun!"

"To sum my experience of participating in the group, it was one of my most rewarding experiences as a gay man. One of the best investments I have made."

--

"I was skeptical about the group to start with and how it would help me. I knew I wanted to find out how to have better relationships with other gay men. And I was so over the bar and club scene, I didn't know where to go. I learned a lot about how I block guys from getting close to me and that I am scared of putting myself our there in case I get rejected. The group was an enormous support and encouraged me to try and take risks. I now feel so much more confident and ready to go after what I want in life. The group has played a really big part in that and I feel very positive about the next chapter in my life."

" What I found beneficial from attending the group was learning about the difficulties faced by gay men in general. Most helpful was the instant feedback from group members. Overall, I found the group personal and emotionally enlightening."
