Group Therapy

What Is Group Therapy?

Group therapy refers to a form of psychotherapy that involves two or more individuals who discuss their personal problems, open up about distressing experiences from their past, and learn from each other in a confidential setting where everyone feels heard and validated. Whether you do not know how to deal with interpersonal difficulties or manage acute symptoms of a mental health condition, speaking to people who know what you are forced to cope with can be very liberating.

Group therapy for depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a great solution on its own but you can accelerate your recovery if you resonate with other therapy modalities such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or recreational therapy based on your individual needs.

Icebreakers

When there are several patients with different stories and backgrounds, it is important to encourage communication and give them a chance to know each other by sharing brief stories about themselves.

How Long Does Group Therapy Take?

The duration of group counseling is hard to predict – besides, many individuals attend therapy sessions only occasionally and only when they are dealing with complicated problems they cannot resolve on their own. Still, if you sign up for a residential treatment program, the treatment spans eight to twelve weeks – this is usually enough to see an improvement in your emotional state. The sessions last for about an hour and can take place as often as patients and their therapists determine.

Who Is Group Therapy For?

There is no specific category of patients that can improve their lives with group psychotherapy – this method is helpful regardless of the individual’s age, background, and diagnosis. If you cannot handle a trauma disorder, an eating disorder, or complicated bereavement on your own, you can meet like-minded individuals who can provide you with useful tips and make you feel less isolated from society.
Note that group therapy can help you foster emotional strength and reduce unique stressors as a complementary therapy modality if you prefer to focus on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or nutritional counseling as the main method of treatment. You can see a full list of conditions we address at Reset Behavioral Health on our What We Treat page.
