Benefits of Group Therapy
Group therapy helps you realize that you are not alone.
When Yalom had members of his support groups write the one thing that they wouldn’t share, similar themes emerged. Most people felt alienated and alone with their secrets. They also felt unloved. Support groups help reduce isolation because they help us realize that we are all in this together.
Group therapy facilitates giving and receiving support.
Group therapy is not a case where people take turns receiving individual therapy. Instead, it is an opportunity for group members to give and receive feedback from one another. Members sharing their experiences and giving feedback help to build an environment of support and connection.
Group therapy helps you to find your “voice”.
In many cases, people come to groups because they feel a lack of a sense of power within their everyday environments. Group therapy helps people learn to speak and exercise their voice, thereby giving them the tools and ability to exercise their voice in their environment.
Group therapy helps you relate to others and yourself in healthier ways.
In group therapy, you can learn about your relational patterns and their effects on yourself and on others. Are you the type that sits back until you are called on? Do you have to be the person that dominates a conversation group therapy allows you to observe how your relational patterns affect others? It also allows you to explore and experiments relating to others in different ways.
