Group Therapy Southampton
Group therapy involves one or more therapists who facilitate a group of a minimum of six clients. Typically, groups meet for 60 - 90 minutes per week. Some clients attend individual therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only.
Many groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as stress, anxiety or addictions. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem. Groups often help those who have experienced life changes, examples of this might be through a bereavement, a break down of a relationship, surgery or the ageing process itself.
Joining a group of strangers may sound intimidating at first, but group therapy provides benefits that individual therapy may not. Group members are almost always surprised by how rewarding the group experience can be. Groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Other members of the group often help you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge, and give you important feedback along the way
Diversity is another important benefit of group therapy. People have different personalities and backgrounds, and they look at situations in different ways. By seeing how other people tackle problems and make positive changes, you can discover a whole range of strategies for facing your own concerns.
