"Have you heard of group counseling before?" Miss Shao Jin asked everyone, and the students shook their heads one after another. They started the experience of interpersonal group counseling with Miss Shao Jin with their curiosity about psychological group counseling. Teacher Shao Jin first led the students to play the small game of "Apple, Watermelon and Banana" to warm up. The students relaxed in the game and gained a sense of security, laying the foundation for further "sincere sharing".

After the students were divided into groups, they learned about the preferences, current status and future plans of the members of the group through the similar circle game to find common ground between them. During this process, the students gradually deepened their understanding of the partners and realized their differences. "Everyone has his own characteristics and interpersonal style".

"Leading a one-time group coaching is like leading a travel group. You are the head of the group, where to play, budget and strategy, the status of the members on the journey and the feedback after the trip". This is the process of group coaching, such as setting goals, collecting materials, designing plans, starting group assistance, and evaluating feedback. "When facing difficulties, not only one person is facing them, but many people have similar situations", Shao Jin finally told everyone: "Believe in the power of the group!"
