As facilitators, sometimes our personal
vision for a group can get in the way of acknowledging its progress. For
example, we might want to introduce the idea of oppression on individual,
social, and institutional levels, however, participants might only identify one
of those three levels. Rather than recognizing the significance of any achieved
awareness, we sometimes dwell on our desire for the group to acquire a precise
type of understanding. This desire can cause us to amplify perceived problems, and
has the potential to impair a group by creating an urge for us to apply
specific parameters for gaining knowledge.
