Group therapy
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy during which one or several
therapists treat a small group of clients together as a group.
This may be more cost effective than individual therapy,
and possibly even more effective.
Quoted with permission is the report of one client:
- "What I got out of group therapy: I was treated with respect, listened to, not judged. I was able to say in "public" what my symptoms were and how I felt. I met other people who had what I had which relieved the feeling of isolation. I learned from the other members of the group what worked for them and copied the skills that worked for me. I got encouragement from the others when I wanted to die. I got compliments when I did well or said something they liked. I had a chance to give and get feedback. I got to hear myself think out loud as I vocally processed what I was dealing with, thus getting it clearer in my own mind."
