Group Therapy — Brentwood, TN
Some Of The Most Important Things We Learn
Happen In Relationships.
Many people come to therapy because they struggle with relationships, loneliness, vulnerability, conflict, trust, emotional expression, or feeling understood. Interpersonal process group therapy provides a unique opportunity to understand these patterns in real time.
What Makes Group Therapy Different?
This Is Not A Support Group.
Many people hear the term group therapy and imagine sitting in a circle listening to advice. Interpersonal process group therapy is very different.
The focus is not on giving advice. The focus is understanding how you relate to others, how others experience you, and how patterns involving trust, vulnerability, conflict, shame, emotional expression, and attachment show up in real time.
01
Relationship Patterns Become Visible
Group helps you notice how familiar patterns show up with other people, not just talk about them after the fact.
02
You Receive Real Feedback
Members learn how others experience them, where connection happens, and where misunderstanding or distance begins.
03
Conflict Can Be Practiced Safely
Group creates a place to explore disagreement, frustration, hurt, or disappointment without avoiding or escalating.
04
Vulnerability Becomes Less Threatening
Members practice being more honest about feelings, needs, fear, anger, sadness, and desire for connection.
05
Loneliness Can Be Understood
Group helps people explore why they may feel alone, unseen, guarded, or disconnected even when they are around others.
06
Growth Happens In Real Time
The same patterns that create difficulty outside therapy often emerge in group, giving members a chance to do something different.

How Jeff Works
A Group Therapy Approach Built Around Real-Time Relationship Work.
Jeff Grossman specializes in interpersonal process group therapy. His work is strongly influenced by group psychotherapy, modern analytic therapy, interpersonal therapy, relational therapy, attachment theory, and experiential therapy.
Unlike individual therapy, group allows members to experience relationship dynamics as they happen. Members learn how they impact others, how others impact them, how to tolerate vulnerability, how to give and receive feedback, and how to stay present during conflict.
"Many of life's greatest challenges occur within relationships, and many of life's greatest opportunities for healing and growth occur there as well."
