what members had to say :

>> So you all have done some really good work in group and, you know, we’ve been talking about this issue of guilt, you know, and the work that you’re doing around guilt. And I wanted to sort of go over something here this evening that I thought might be helpful. And so in getting started with this I want you to think about where does your guilt come from. For example, if I was going to give you a test and the one test question was where does my guilt come from, how would you answer that test question?

>> My past.

>> Your past okay, I’m going to list these up here. So your past okay.

>> And things I’ve either done or haven’t done.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah.
