ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on each member of Women's Group taking the skills that she has learned in Women's Group into life outside of Group. Working with Women's Groups for Problem Gambling the author think very carefully before commenting or interpreting any body language. Women's Group has proved to be a safe environment in which the women can identify their own particular emotional and psychological triggers for their cravings to gamble to flare up. The women who go on to flourish when Women's Group closes are those who use it as a practice ground for life, to identify what it is that blocks them from going out into the world and engaging with life and relationships. The uncertainty raised by the ending of Women's Group has engendered fear in Helen and her response has been to take flight. Janet remained gambling free as she had on entering Women's Group.
