In group therapy approximately 6-10 individuals meet face-to-face with a trained group therapist. During the group meeting time, members decide what they want to talk about.
Members are encouraged to give feedback to others. Feedback includes expressing your own feelings about what someone says or does.
Interaction between group members are highly encouraged and provides each person with an opportunity to try out new ways of behaving; it also provides members with an opportunity for learning more about the way they interact with others.
Some of the many benefits of group therapy:
- Exploring issues in a social context more accurately reflects real life.
- Group therapy provides an opportunity to observe and reflect on your own and others' social skills.
- Group therapy provides an opportunity to benefit both through active participation and through observation.
- Group therapy offers an opportunity to give and get immediate feedback about concerns, issues and problems affecting one's life.
- Group therapy members benefit by working through personal issues in a supportive, confidential environment and by helping others to work through theirs.
Ongoing group where people can talk about their own or others problems, is open to both inpatient and outpatient clients.
