    The video I selected shows a brief group therapy session where several individuals are seated together with a therapist facilitating the discussion. Group members openly share personal experiences, reflect on emotional reactions, and respond to one anothers comments. The therapist provides structure while allowing members to interact naturally and support each other. The overall tone of the session suggests an established level of trust and engagement among members.

    Video link:

    Based on the interactions in the video, the group appears to be in the working phase of group development. Members demonstrate comfort in sharing vulnerable experiences and offer empathy and feedback to one another. Communication flows between group members rather than being directed solely at the therapist, which suggests cohesion and trust. There is also evidence of interpersonal learning, as members reflect on how others experiences relate to their own. According to Wheeler (2022) and Boland and Verduin (2022), the working phase is characterized by increased participation, openness, and movement toward therapeutic change, which aligns with what is observed in the session.

    The therapist appears to be using a supportive, interpersonal group therapy approach. The therapist encourages members to explore emotions in the present moment and respond to each others experiences. Techniques include clarification, gentle prompting, and reinforcing shared themes among members. The therapist also maintains structure while allowing space for members to process feelings collectively. These interventions promote therapeutic factors such as universality, cohesion, and interpersonal learning, which are central to effective group therapy (Boland & Verduin, 2022). The approach reflects principles described by Wheeler (2022), emphasizing group process and therapeutic relationships.

    Other approaches could also be effective depending on the groups goals and population. Cognitive behavioral group therapy could be incorporated to help members identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts while practicing coping skills together. Research supports the effectiveness of adapted group CBT for older adults. For example, enhanced group cognitive behavioral therapy for older adults (CBT-OA) has been shown to significantly improve depression, anxiety, and quality of life when modifications are made to support age related learning needs (Skosireva et al., 2025). Family systems informed group approaches could also be considered if relational patterns are a primary focus. As Wheeler (2022) notes, group therapy models are flexible and can be adapted to meet the needs of different populations while fostering connection and shared growth.

    This group therapy session is conducted within a correctional facility located in Berlin, New Hampshire, for individuals participating in a substance abuse treatment program. During the session, the therapist does not introduce herself but instead invites participants to identify and discuss situations they perceive as high-risk for relapse. The inmates articulate specific circumstances or triggers that may increase their likelihood of reverting to drug or alcohol use as a means of coping at such moments.

    This session does not appear to be the initial session. The participants seem to be comfortable with each other and are engaging with each other without hesitation. The group is currently in the norming phase of development. During this phase, group members engage in discussions pertinent to their common concerns, gain insight into one anothers viewpoints, and foster a secure environment within the group. This developmental stage also involves defining boundaries and setting expectations, thereby enabling members to participate in substantive dialogue without apprehension or judgment. This stage is characterized by increased cohesion among members and the establishment of a therapeutic alliance. According to Murphy (2024), During the norming stage, team members are no longer focused on individual recognition but are motivated by the success of the team as a whole.
    The therapist used a process-oriented approach, taking on a leadership role within the group. She got them involved by asking each one of them about things that might trigger them they may potentially cause them to relapse. She employed an information-sharing technique by posing the question to all of the participants, providing each individual the opportunity to share their insights and experiences with the group.

    A great deal of research has been done in supporting a patient in applying interventions in positive psychology into their life (Miller, 2026). Some other therapy approaches might include sharing activities, goal visualizations, gratitude activities, or expressive writing activities. According to Cherry (2025), Expressive writing activities to explore experiences and emotions connected to those events.

    Part II: Adolescent anxiety is increasingly prevalent, with up to 50% of teenagers reporting stress, anxiety, or depression. Traditional treatments face barriers including cost, stigma, and limited access, creating a substantial treatment gap. Yoga has emerged as an accessible alternative, with school-based and community-based group formats offering universal prevention strategies that reach youth who might not otherwise receive mental health support.

    Question: If you were seeking to integrate a mindfulness-based yoga program into the school schedule.

    1.How would you advocate for this program in terms of benefits and funding.?

    2.What are some of the ” push back” you could anticipate receiving from parents and school administration?

    INITIAL POST AND RESPOND TO TWO PEERS In this discussion, you will write a possible working thesis statement for your argument essay and try out various claims for arguments you could make in your draft of Writing Project 3: Argument. Start a new thread in this board and respond to the following prompt. Click the Post Reply button to submit your initial post: Based on your topic, construct a working thesis statement responding to your class’s closed research theme question. (You may end up keeping or modifying this working thesis statement for Writing Project 3: Argument). Construct at least 4 different claims (four different “I Says”) supporting your working thesis statement, which could in turn be supported by evidence from your readings and research. For the purpose of this exercise, try at least one of each of the claim types outlined in the “Building Your Arguments” slideshow. Label each claim by type. A claim of definition or classification A claim of cause and effect A claim of value A claim of solutions or policies Optional: A claim that is a combination of the claim types above or that is different from the claim types above. Choose one or two of the claims you wrote and make a few notes underneath on the types of evidence you might use to support each claim. As appropriate, note the title and/or author of closed research theme readings, background readings, and/or library research that could be used for support. As best you can, categorize the kind of evidence you found in the source that would best support the claim: facts, statistics, results of a research study, expert opinion, a story of testimony of one’s personal experience, a definition, witness observation, etc. Lastly, reflect on the creation of your four or more claims. You may comment on any or all of the following questions. Explain your answers. Which claim was the hardest to come up with, and/or which was the easiest? Which claim do you think provides the strongest support for your working thesis statement? Which claim do you think would be the most interesting to write on? Which claim would require the most new or additional research to support? Which claims could be combined to create a more effective claim or a stronger thesis statement? Identify one or more specific claims from your list and explain why your readers should care about it. Comment on anything else you learned about creating and supporting claims from doing this exercise. Your Module 7 initial post should be at least 150 original words. Module 7 Responses Respond to 2 or more posts made by your classmates. To respond to a peer, click the Reply button underneath that peer’s post. After you’ve written your response, click the Post Reply button to submit your response. Possible ways to respond include: Comment on the relative strengths or weaknesses of the suggested claims. Which claim is the best developed or can be most effectively debated or supported? Give reasons for your choice. Comment on which claim sounds most interesting from a readers point of view. Which argument do you care about the most? Which claim, if any, would you not be interested in? Explain why you do (or don’t!) care. Take on the role of a skeptic, someone who is willing to be persuaded based on the evidence but who will ask questions and cast doubt if things dont add up. Ask specific questions about one of your peer’s claims that readers could be skeptical about or write an “Okay, But” response to one of your peer’s claims. Suggest specific wording changes or additions to any of the claims or working thesis statements to clarify, focus, or strengthen them. Explain the reasons for your suggested changes. Altogether, your Module 7posts (initial post and at least 2 responses) should add up to at least 350 words, and each reply to a classmate needs to be a minimum of 100 words each. All posts are due by the end of Module 7.
