NCE Study Guide

In this episode of the NCE Study Guide, we dive deep into one of the most testable and misunderstood areas of the NCE: Group Dynamics.
Learn to recognize and navigate the five stages of group development—forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning—and how they show up in NCE-style scenarios.

We break down real-world examples of group member roles (like the scapegoat and monopolizer), the emotional rhythm of group counseling, and essential terms like universality, cohesion, catharsis, and more.

Featuring practical tips and a 5-question mini quiz, this episode will help you think like a counselor, not just a test-taker.
