It is no secret that it is very important that the participants of the training group are confident that everything they say remains only in the circle and is not taken out of its aisles. In other words, it is confidential information. “There is nothing more important than the opportunity to honestly talk in a group about your impressions and feelings about yourself and others. I affirm that confidentiality is also a necessary and obligatory condition for working in group therapy, as in any relationship, doctor - patient (or in our case, psychologist - client). To speak freely, participants must be confident that what is said will remain in the group,” says Irvin Yalom in “The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy.” It is especially important to maintain confidentiality in a small city like ours, where “someone knows someone” and the likelihood that one of his acquaintances may accidentally find out about his secrets is high if confidentiality is violated. After all, a group member shares personal experiences, which he often trusts only to the circle and the leader. And one of the main tasks of the psychologist is to protect group members by clearly defining confidentiality and helping them understand the difficulty of maintaining it. The scope of confidentiality is clarified at the very first meeting. During the work, the leader, if necessary, can remind participants to maintain confidentiality, for example, when a new group member appears. Although participants will inevitably want to share their group experience with loved ones, it is important to warn them that they may unwittingly reveal other people's secrets. As a rule, clients do not affect anyone's interests when they talk about what they have learned about themselves. In other words, a participant can share his own group experience with someone outside the circle, but regarding the group experience of other participants, and regarding their names (in the event that the participants wish to remain anonymous), maintain the strictest confidentiality. Problems arise when one of the participants begins to talk about how other people have changed, describes what these participants did, and how the psychologist worked with them. If a client has concerns about confidentiality, it is worth discussing this in a circle. After all, trust in the group is important, and the fear of telling stories about yourself outside will most likely prevent full participation.
