Abstract
ABSTRACT Group counseling is essential to school counselors’ practice, but training may be insufficient. Little literature exists on school counselors’ post-master’s experience of gaining group skills. The research question for this interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) study was as follows: How do early career school counselors (ECSCs) experience developing group counseling skills post-master’s? Interviews with ECSCs, use of IPA data analysis, and application of trustworthiness strategies yielded themes. Findings described participants’ experience of learning group skills in the context of colleague connections, group scarcity, motivation, and tension between barriers and motivations. Implications for group training in counselor education, continuing education, and supervision are provided.
