EVENT: GROUP THERAPY
On Day 427 there will be a much needed group therapy day, graciously hosted by the caretakers in an effort to help you through these changing and trying times. While it's no longer mandatory, it is encouraged to attend for your own well-being and both Mary and Jaden will personally be there to live by example. There will also be snacks and drinks to keep things light.

The groups will be created through ooc suggestions, and will icly be arranged by the caretakers or by the characters themselves if they are inclined to lead a group. The activities range from drawing your feelings to trust falls or simply talking out your problems - or maybe something more creative! Have fun with this one, marinanites! Your character is of course welcome to attend as many group therapy sessions as they may need!

Truth serum? Those of you who remember the last group therapy may also remember that the characters were influenced by a truth serum that allowed them to speak more freely than they normally would. Officially this is no longer the case, Marina being a free dome of sorts, but the caretakers are still straightening out code and strengthening firewalls. Perhaps there's a string or two accidentally left in there, in case your character needs a bit of a push?

Opt out? Group therapy is not mandatory. If your character doesn't want to attend, they are welcome to stay at home, bottling up their emotions.

Questions? Ask them here.

Plotting? Use this post to plot among yourselves and start therapy groups! We'll link them below as they come up!

Current groups:

• Turning a New Leaf - coping with world separation anxiety.
• Poly-amorous Individuals - how to manage the dodecahedron of love.
• PTSD and You.
• Murderers Anonymous
• Addicts Anonymous.
• Counting Days - Managing Life with a Terminal Illness.
• Phobias and You.
• Impostor Syndrome - you really do belong here.
• Abandonment Issues Support Group

	So, Jaden here will be present alongside Mary - and he'll be touring around a few different groups. They won't necessarily relate to him (maybe) but it's a show of participation and also a chance for some one on one talks if you're feeling inclined! (Reply to this)

Rebecca will more than likely be at one or two therapy sessions because honestly, after everything that's happened it might be nice to get on even footing with her own emotions. A few concepts she'd subscribe to: Turning a new Leaf, Poly-amorous Individuals, PTSD and the lovely Murderers Anonymous club.

Karev will be a pissbaby but he'll drop by AA, even if he's not the alcoholic he's afraid he'll become.

James/Logan is still ignoring his past as Logan (which is hell to type out since he's considering himself James atm) but you know he's got more than enough reason to attend Murderers Anon, Addicts Anon, Terminal Diseases Anon, etc. Just uh, try to get him there. Honestly.

Peter and Jezebel have no set plans, they may pop around. If you've got any ideas for 'em too, let me know.

Ianto will be in the banging lots of people one. Maybe PTSD but I feel like I've just been drama drama drama with him I want to make someone else be angsty and upset for once so maybe not.

Phanan actually has his life together? And is doing good? Shocking. He pop up in the abandonment one for Kitty missing but don't expect him to actually be a mature adult and talk about his feelings.

Kanji might show up in ~~Animal Crossing~~ New Leaf he does miss his friends and such.

Aigis will probably end up in multiple ones, most likely the abandonment issues and new leaf ones.

Spike - Poly party, because he genuinely doesn't know how to deal with it. He'll also drop by murderous anonymous ~~in memory of better times with Tyki~~ because he feels like he should, probably. It's good for the soul.

Reid - Abandonment issues, addicts anonymous.

Wade - All of them? Uuuuh murderers anonymous, PTSD and you, terminal illness, maybe something else if I can think of it. You bet he'll drop by the poly group just for shits and giggles and stale donuts.

Aidan - PTSD, impostor maybe?

Chuck - she's doing so frickin' well I think she'll sit this one out and just make post-therapy treats for people who might need an extra dose of chocolate today.

	I feel like Chuck and Phanan should just set up a folding table with cookies somewhere and cheer everyone else on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
