HOW GROUPS HELP
What is group therapy?
Group therapy is the most effective tool for change for many types of personal struggles, relationship issues, and emotional difficulties. It consists of a small group of individuals gathering to share their struggles and concerns with the facilitation of a trained group therapist in a safe and confidential environment. Although it may be uncomfortable or daunting for many to consider joining a therapy group, most people consistently describe it as a positive, helpful experience.
How can groups help?
The power of group therapy lies in the unique opportunity to receive support, multiple perspectives, and genuine feedback from other individuals. Group therapy can help you:
- Discover that you are not alone in your struggles
- Learn from others facing similar problems
- Gain new insights
- Learn interpersonal skills that you can use in your everyday life
- Internalize what you’ve learned by helping group members
- Develop effective ways of building and maintaining relationships
