Quotations

Nothing (n = 4)

There is not anything that made it difficult for me in the process of group sessions

The lack of common experiences and similarities (n = 1)

That feeling that I do not have shared experiences, things, and generally similarities in lifestyle with the rest of the team members, made it particularly difficult for me.

Personal defence(n = 2)

The small number of meetings resulted in some persons to develop a defensive stance, which made it difficult for them to integrate and “be exposed” to the group. I felt stagnant and that the discussion did not go further when my mate in a role playing exercise showed several defences and resistances.

The small number of meetings (n = 1)

If the meetings were more frequent, we would have developed a different kind of communication, even and outside the group (meetings), which should help in team building.

The public commitment (n = 1)

I did not like to feel tied in front of so many people.

The expectations of the other members (n = 1)

Initially, I felt pressed and stressed that the other members had high expectations of me.

The success of the others (n = 1)

I found excessive and disturbing some people’s triumphalism about the objectives they achieved. This whole process put me in agony and many thoughts about how my path will evolve and whether I shall accomplish my goals, something that was also tiring and stressful for me.

The discussion of other issues (n = 1)

I was tired sometime, when a team member was drifting and discussing other personal issues.

The holding on public time (n = 1)

It was difficult for me when some people abused the public time.
