Applied Psychology
Meet: Last Friday of the month 2 - 4pm
Location: Leaside Community Centre, High Street, Ware SG12 9BT
Cost: £15 per year
Group Leader: Patrick Clifford
The purpose of our group is quite simply to bring together, like-minded individuals that enjoy each other’s company - individuals that want to learn something new about themselves, each other and the human condition in general - individuals that like to take an active part in lively debate - or to simply sit, listen and ponder - and it’s always a bonus when we come away from a meeting having thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
When it comes to levels of disclosure, this remains very much with the individual and the amount of emotional commitment they wish to give to the subject in hand. We believe that we are all jointly responsible for creating and maintaining an environment wherein all our differing personalities can feel safe and comfortable - so that we can give of ourselves as much, or as little, as we want.
Sessions are thought provoking and also great fun! Group members take it in turn to introduce and lead on any subject which raises their interest which could come from an article in a newspaper or a book or even a personal experience. Part of each meeting centres around an activity - often involving breaking up into small discussion groups before all of us come back together towards the end of the session to share learning and points of interest.
No expertise in psychology is required to join the group - just an interest in the topic. None of us are experts although some of us have studied the topic in the past or have worked as counsellors or psychology teachers. There is a small fee, currently £15.00 per year, to cover venue costs.
