Transition in Group Culture
A group’s culture affects how individuals interact and how the group approaches its aims. Ideally groups can avoid getting stuck in ineffective processes and relationship conflicts, and transition toward a more nourishing group culture which supports both individual well-being and accomplishing the group’s tasks, aims, and purpose. Many group cultures typically involve some unconscious dynamics based on old habits involving ego, fear, trauma, power, or strategies for meeting needs.
