Online Healthy Relationships Group Therapy Outline
Week 1: Investigate and Understand the Significance, Purposes, and Responsibilities within Relationships
In the first week, we’ll delve into the foundational aspects of relationships. We’ll explore why relationships are essential for our well-being, what purposes they serve in our lives, and the responsibilities that come with them. You’ll gain insights into how different types of relationships (romantic, familial, friendships, and professional) impact your life. Through interactive discussions and reflective exercises, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of your own relationship patterns and how they shape your interactions with others.
Week 2: Transform Unhealthy Patterns and Attachment Styles
Week two focuses on identifying and transforming unhealthy patterns and attachment styles that negatively affect your relationships. You’ll learn about the different attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized) and how they manifest in your interactions. We’ll provide strategies to help you shift towards healthier relationship dynamics. Activities will include self-assessment tools, role-playing scenarios, and group discussions to practice and reinforce new, healthier behaviors.

Through exercises and role-plays, you’ll practice these skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Week 4: Exploring Your Relationship with the Self and Others
In week four, the focus shifts to your relationship with yourself. Understanding and improving your self-relationship is crucial for fostering healthy connections with others. We’ll explore self-compassion, self-awareness, and self-care practices that enhance your overall well-being. You’ll also examine how your self-relationship influences your interactions with others, helping you to build more authentic and fulfilling relationships.

Through case studies, group discussions, and practical exercises, you’ll gain the skills needed to manage these challenges effectively.
Week 6: Setting Meaningful Relationship Goals
In the final week, we’ll focus on setting meaningful relationship goals for the near future. You’ll reflect on what you’ve learned throughout the program and identify specific, actionable goals to enhance your relationships.
