Group Therapy

The therapeutic purposes and benefits of group therapy are many. First, the group dynamic creates a broader support network by bringing people/peers together who share similar life experiences and issues. Second, the group process facilitated by the therapist helps members hear and are able to relate to one another’s stories and struggles, bonds of emotional trust and safety are established with each individual and the group as a whole. This allows members to lower their defenses and become more open to support and feedback from one another.

Over time the open, honest, caring and supportive group environment helps to normalize one’s experiences. This dispels one’s belief that no one else could understand their struggles. As the group process continues members have deeper insight and emotional awareness into how and why their life experiences and choices have created the life they have led. True healing, change, and growth can and will occur as each member takes more and more responsibility in creating the life they most deeply want.
