<div>I have ventured to do groupwork with the belief that psychodrama is a proven healing process. No one has "hinted to me" that I apologize in advance. The intention to apologize for any inadvertent or out of place observation arose from within myself. Quite honestly, dwelling on what is causing me to do groupwork, who invited me to do groupwork, etc is, in my humble opinion (IMHO), out of scope to my initial question.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this offers some clarity. </div>

<div> seems to imply that you feel someone has even indirectly suggested that you are or would undermine the purity of psychodrama, be disrespectful, abbreviate a therapy process... etc . But I'm not aware of who that is or what invitation that represents.</div>

<div> I appreciate that you work hard and in spite of that participate as you can in our common endeavor, and I wish you well. </div>

<div> Warmly, Adam</div>

<div class="h5">
<div>I am tethered to a computer on most week days in my job as a Project Manager. I belong to a psychodrama group that meets weekly (not daily). </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I am finding that I have a mental challenge or inner block that makes me hestitate while trying to warm-up, access my inner self or conscience and confront the truth about various relationships in my social atom that need to be reconfigured via a series of psychodramas. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The gentle reader will notice that I am trying to abbreviate a therapy process, which might span over several weeks or months or longer, into terse simplicity or rationalized abstraction. I don't mean to undermine the purity of the psychodrama field or be disrespectful. If I appear to have crossed the line, my sincere apologies. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The story of my struggle may be more succinctly descibed as follows:</div>
<div><i>I don't mean to blame a computer (inanimate object), but after hours of electronic communication (using emoticons, not emotions), I don't feel a 100% excited to do groupwork. I earnestly want to do adequate pre-work so that I can be 100% excited to go to group and do groupwork whereby I have found an access to wrestle out of my mental challenge I described earlier.</i> </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I thought of posing this question to the GroupTalk community so that I can obtain more feedback and possibly some guidance to learn about other novel choices that I may not have previously considered. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cheers, </div>
