Assignment:
Group members will experience a range of emotions when leaving a group, just as with any important activity that ends. Reflect on and discuss a time when your participation in some sort of activity that was important to you ended. This activity might have involved leaving a group, such as a sports team or a high school band, or even moving away from school friends or family. Sometimes the leaving event can evoke many types of emotions, and it seems like a “bittersweet” time. You experience sadness about the ending of the experience, but have memories and feelings that you will cherish as you move on. What are some feelings you experience when you leave and move on to the next goal or phase in your life? Discuss emotions that were “positive” and “negative” about the experience.
When the event you reflected on in the preceding prompts ended and you felt sad or other “down” or “grieving” types of emotions about leaving, do you think you let those emotions go? Do you think you have let go of the emotions you felt from the ending of that event? If you believe you did let go of those sad emotions, what do you think helped you let go of them? If you believe you did not let go of those sad emotions, what strategies do you think you could use to aid you in letting go of the emotional hurt?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
