Abstract
With acceptance and support from group members, growth groups free the hearts and feelings of the participants, thus facilitating significant therapeutic and growth experiences. Joining a growth group myself gives me the chance of further understanding my feelings and liberating the emotions within my heart. Through genuine and open sharing of my experiences with members in the group, I gain more energy to face challenges of life.
At the same time, when I am more willing to disclose my own emotions, I can understand other people's feelings better; my heart is opened up and can carry more grief of others. I am strengthened to share people's life difficulties. Such an experience also helps me to build up my confidence in counselling work.
