Group Self Analysis

Self-disclosure is an important part of any close relationship. Without sharing our own fears and weaknesses, we can

Body paragraph four: Having an appropriate level of self-disclosure in relationships is also important because the higher it is, the higher the marriage satisfaction is. Self- disclosure is a process of communication that involves sharing information between couples in a relationship.

In my small group for the film project analysis project I worked with four other students, Deonte, Frank, Osama, and Stephen. The specific purpose that we came together for was to analyse the film, Oz, The Great and Powerful and identify the different properties of communication in the film and how they were used. We held our group meetings after class three times and once before class. Our group had no clear leader, and instead each member was self-directed, and instead our group came to a general consensus at each meeting as to how tasks should be divided and what should be done before the next meeting. While there were significant setbacks to our group’s progress, aside from one anomaly our group worked well together and had only one major conflict.

In When Harry Met Sally, self-disclosure is very prominent. While Harry and Sally are driving to New York from the university of Chicago they begin discuss their opinions about males being friends with females. Harry then makes the statement, “Men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.” Sally firmly disagrees talking about her male

To disclose or not to disclose?, That question usually comes when you start a new relationship with a friend, a boy friend, a new job or any new relationship, but disclosing can also happen with people we have known for a long time or not. Scholars define self-disclosure as sharing information with others that they would not normally know or discover, but I feel like each person has his or her own way of defining what self closure is. To me, self disclosure is letting myself go and trusting the person I am disclosing to, it involves risk and vulnerability on my part sharing important information to someone. Therefore I go back to the question I posed before, do I trust this person or not, do I love this person to feel my vulnerability, do

Learning about self-disclosure in this course, has been insightful in understanding the positive aspects of self-disclosure and how it can improve us physiologically, affects productivity, help reduce stress and

In conclusion, self-disclosure is important in relationship. “These mutual disclosures have increased your vulnerability to being hurt or taken advantage of by the other person, and fact that you have invested so much of yourself may make it difficult to disrupt or to end the relationship” (Sole, 2011). As mentioned above, genders have many roles that are different but share some similarities. Rather being married or in a relationship, quality communication is the key to successful relationship. I hope one day that I will find a partner to share this information with one day.

Working in a group was a great way to get to know my classmates. Despite our differences, we worked together and completed the assignment. I like working in a group, but sometimes I would rather do the assignment on my own. Group work has its good and bad effects.

Group work and collaboration is an opportunity for every nurse to expand their resources and make impacts on a large scale in their community. This final project of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) has provided the opportunity to collaborate with individuals, groups and public health organizations to address a need in the community. The following will include an assessment of the group process utilizing the four stages of forming, storming, norming and performing as identified by Connery and Vohs (2006). An assessment of the collaboration with the Medical Reserve Corp and the Pierce County Health Department will also be evaluated. My personal roles and contributions will be discussed along with my perception of the group and partnerships

Trust may be a major issue during the group process. Since the members are female middle school students, the likelihood of them previously being betrayed by a trusted friend is great. It may be difficult for members to trust each other when disclosing personal information. Another issue that may arise is shame. The girls may not fully self-disclose because they are ashamed about the negative self-concept they have of themselves. It also may be difficult to say these negative thoughts about themselves out loud to other people. Hopefully, the fact that they all have some perception of themselves will aid in enabling them to self-disclose with confidence.

Self-disclosure is a process in which one person tells another person something he or she would not reveal to just anyone. Like stated before, Morrie encourages Mitch to share his thoughts and feelings with Morrie. As Mitch becomes more comfortable, he talks about Janine and their current conflicts. Morrie aids Mitch by talking about the meaning of marriage and love. Mitch is also hesitant to talk about death, but eventually does with Morrie.

When self-disclose was first introduced, I thought it was something that never should be done within the therapeutic relationship. In the Gift of Therapy, three types of therapist self-disclosure are the mechanisms of therapy, here-and-now feelings, and the therapist’s personal life. Mechanisms of therapy and here-and-now feelings are self-disclosures that should be expressed to the client because they both enhance the quality of therapy. According to Yalom (2003) “The establishment of an authentic relationship with patients, by its very nature, demands that we forgo the power of the triumvirate of magic, mystery, and authority” (P. 84). In order for the client to experience comfort in session the therapeutic process needs to be explained and

I am a little undecided about self disclosure during therapy because most of experiences that I have encountered have been somewhat traumatic and I would be worried that I may become vulnerable and the focus be directed on me. Perhaps my reluctancy on self disclosure is, because I am still working through my experiences and do not feel I have complete control over the emotions that come with these experiences. However, I can recognize that self disclosure can come out unexpected as it did in residency (Roberts, 2012). As Roberts (2012), explains that it is hurtful on the therapeutic relationship if a therapist does not self disclose. Therefore, I believe it is important to have a balance between the two, I just have not figured out what

Individuals have different levels of disclosure and when combined with another individual’s disclosure level can have positive or negative outcomes. The decision to communicate can also cause uncertainty within relationships. Prior research was conducted to try and measure what exactly causes the uncertainty and negative results to show up in a relationship. Intimacy, security, problematic events, and irritations are all different elements that can be stronger or weaker in the relationship based on the disclosure (Theiss and Solomon 2006).

Self-disclosure is the voluntary sharing of personal history, preferences, attitudes, feelings, values, secrets, etc. with another person (Griffin, p. 97). As stated in the introduction Altman and Taylor look at relationships as an “onions.” The different layers are representative of different feelings of a person. When
