I welcomed and recorded attendance for members presented

Asked one of the members to lead us in an opening prayer and a volunteer for an ice
breaker before we started our session.
Revisited the group rules with an emphasis on confidentiality, attendance, and
participation.
Informed the members that this is our third meeting and we have three more
meetings to end our therapy.
We had a recap of the previous session with the focus on symptoms of depression and
anxiety and their triggers. 
I reviewed the client’s week using the burden scale checklist with emphasis on
symptoms that were improving and showing empathy to those still hurting with the
scale (heavy burden).
I requested those whose scale was 3 and above to share what they were going through
in detail for the group on what was giving them that heavy burden. Through the
different experiences shared helped members share their support and offer empathy
to the members hurting.
After the sharing of the burden scale, I introduced a new trigger disagreement as a
cause of depression and anxiety. 
Encouraged members to share how they have experienced disagreements and how
they were able to handle them. From the sharing of the group members, it was noted
that most of the experiences that hurt most were from people close to them rather
than strangers. Then I tasked members to come up with ways on how to resolve these
disagreements so that they don’t cause persistent pain and sadness and through this,
the key item that everyone talked about was communication and letting go. One of
the members shared how she has been struggling with her ex-husband over children
and accepted that their communication has not been good but also, she has not let
the matter go and this was causing her a great deal of pain. As homework, we asked
her to work on her communication. 
Group participation has improved compared to the first 2 sessions, and everyone is
actively involved and sharing of experiences was much easier than the previous
sessions, there was a sense of togetherness and concern for each other.
As we came to the close, we acted out a role-play to illustrate how disagreements
trigger depression and anxiety as we closed the session.
