History

Post-Gold Morning

Group session were initiated by Dr. Yamada somewhere around two months and a week before the story start, with one or two sessions a week.<ref name="2.5" /> Prior to the inaugural meeting, Dr. Yamada discussed goals and expectations with each patient individually; after the members introduced themselves and discussed their backgrounds, she prompted them to consider whether they wanted to change.<ref>“Our inaugural session is winding down,” Jessica said. “I’ve talked to each of you about goals. We outlined some goals and expectations before and after you decided to try this group. It would be good to think about where you stand on that.”

[...]

“When we discuss goals,” Jessica said. “We think about change. What do we need or want to change? Very commonly, in my experience, it’s something we raise during first sessions or something we leave as homework. Let me build on that, though. Change. Do you want to change?” - Excerpt from Eclipse x.2</ref> At some point, the group shared details like names and the fact that Ashley had not used a computer before.<ref name="P.3">Glow-worm P.3</ref>

Glow-worm

As they got to know each other, the therapy group eventually decided to form a hero team together, discussing the matter on the newly set up Parahumans Online forum. Tristan (screen name Capricorn), Chris (Strange_Mammal), and Kenzie (Heart_Shaped_Pupil) were the first to join the chat. Ashley (Mangled_Wings) was then invited by Chris on August 19th after making her account.<ref name="P.3" /> However, she disconnected after he mentioned proof that she had lied about a minor detail.

The next day, Rain (of5) connected to the chat and discussed help with the PHO search function. Chris mentioned that he had video games to give him at the next meeting.<ref name="P.4">Glow-worm P.4</ref>. Half of the group at that point seemed to be busy with research and scouring the network for information.

By August 22nd, Ashley had rejoined the group chat.<ref name="P.6">Glow-worm P.6</ref> At August 24th, the final member, Sveta (screen name Kraken_in_a_Jar) joined the chat.<ref name="P.8">Glow-worm P.8</ref>

Trivia

Since they lacked a name, the fanbase has referred to the group as Team Therapy, Group Therapy and Misfits Toys, among other inventive names.
