Benefits of Group Therapy
Have you ever felt so burden with despair that you believed that no one else is going through it or understands. You may feel like you are on an island to yourself, and no one knows or cares that you are there. You may be discouraged and feel like there is no hope. There is much strength in saying that I am not OK, but do not stay there. Individual therapy is great to dig deep into those things that you have personally been through to get through it and not just over it. Group therapy is beneficial because you meet people that may have similar stories or experiences to you. Group therapy is also where group members support each other and help each other through their situations.
****The Following is from the American Psychological Association (www.apa.org)****
Groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Other members of the group often help you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge, and hold you accountable along the way.
Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own problems in perspective. Many people experience mental health difficulties, but few speak openly about them to people they don't know well. Oftentimes, you may feel like you are the only one struggling — but you're not. It can be a relief to hear others discuss what they're going through, and realize you're not alone.
Diversity is another important benefit of group therapy. People have different personalities and backgrounds, and they look at situations in different ways. By seeing how other people tackle problems and make positive changes, you can discover a whole range of strategies for facing your own concerns.
