Research has shown that Group Therapy can be beneficial for patients, giving them a more affordable yet still effective alternative to individual sessions. It also helps people realize they are not isolated in their struggles.

Group Therapy

What is group therapy? It is a therapeutic group that typically focuses on one issue and whose participants experience the same or similar mental health disorders. A therapist guides the group. Individuals share their stories, and the therapist may provide guidance or highlight tips and tools for the group to consider. Groups tend to range from 5 to upwards of 20 people. Large groups sometimes have two therapists.

Group therapy can vary from session to session. Some group therapy involves group discussion and sharing, while other sessions may run more like a class. Therapists leading group therapy often provide participants with coping mechanisms and tools they can implement into their daily lives.

Sessions can take place on a daily and weekly basis. The participants may change over time, with new participants arriving and others leaving from one session to the next. Sharing in group therapy tends to center on narratives related to the struggles participants go through in dealing with a mental health issue. The therapist makes sure that everyone stays focused on the main issue at hand, and that everything said is as compassionate and productive as possible.

The basic structure of group therapy is as follows:

  • Participants share an experience or diagnosis
  • They offer hope and support to others in group
  • Both therapists and patients share knowledge and experience
  • Participants maintain a circle of privacy

Keeping the circle of privacy and ensuring the anonymity of all involved is crucial to the therapeutic process. This provides a safe space for everyone so that they can share freely. The therapist leading the group tries to focus participants to maintain a mood of positivity and empowerment for themselves and others.
