Chapter 1: Some facts about Co-Counsellors.

When thinking about organisation generally, I find it important to look at what is ‘given’; what is characteristic about the people who are involved in the organising process. Supporting a group of children to organise themselves is different from organising a group of engineers to build a bridge. So what ‘facts’ do I think are relevant when thinking about a Co-Counsellors peership organisation?

Social dynamics in co-counseling

When we meet in a group of co-counsellors, we do not have any method of being clear about our social reactions with each other. The method of co-counselling is fine for our own personal enlightenment, but our understanding of how we interact with each other is not examined. I would like to start a dialogue about the problems which arise within the co-counselling community, and indeed in other close knit social groups.
