Group Therapy
Group Therapy is an effective support network and is used as a sounding board. Group Therapy helps one realise that they are not alone in their problem.
Listening and speaking to others can help put one’s own problems into perspective as well as assist in addressing concerns and making positive changes in your life.
Group therapy is an effective treatment for many psychological issues and disorders.
Group Therapy is designed to target a specific issue such as anxiety or depression or may focus more on improving social skills and helping people with strategies to deal with issues such as anger, loneliness or low self-esteem.
Group members are often a valuable source of support however, formal sessions offer benefits beyond this informal help.
The five main benefits of group therapy are:
1. It helps you realise you’re not alone
2. It helps facilitate the giving and receiving of support
3. It helps you find your “voice”
4. It helps you relate to others and yourself in healthier ways
5. It helps provide a safety net
