Debby Wade presents a brief history of group therapy, highlighting Irvin Yalom’s therapeutic factors in group work.  Describing open-ended, closed-ended, in-person and online groups, she discusses how to design a group for women dealing with sexual pain and outlines an eight week closed-ended curriculum participants can use to lead a group for women. Debby’s “Journey of the Courageous” walks participants through education, empowerment, obstacles to growth, emotional healing, shifting beliefs, and reclaiming healthy intimacy.  She encourages therapists to offer hope, to stay humble, and to keep the group focus on addressing the pain and increasing intimacy.
