Is Group Therapy Right for You?

FAQs: Your Therapy Questions Answered

What is group therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where one or more therapists work with multiple participants at the same time. It provides a supportive environment where participants share their experiences, offer feedback, and learn from each other under the guidance of a licensed therapist.

How is group therapy different from individual therapy?

Group therapy involves multiple participants working together in a shared space, while individual therapy is one-on-one with a therapist. Group therapy provides peer support, shared insights, and a chance to improve social skills, whereas individual therapy focuses solely on personal issues and tailored guidance.

What are the benefits of group therapy?

Group therapy offers several benefits, including:

  • Feeling less alone by connecting with others facing similar challenges
  • Gaining diverse perspectives and insights
  • Practicing communication and conflict resolution skills
  • Developing emotional regulation and coping strategies
  • More cost-effective than individual therapy
How many people are in a group therapy session?

Group sizes typically range from 6 to 12 participants. Smaller groups offer a more intimate setting, while larger groups provide more diverse perspectives and shared experiences.

Will I be required to speak in group therapy?

Participation is encouraged but never forced. You can share at your own pace and comfort level. Listening to others and offering support is equally valuable.

Is group therapy confidential?

Yes. Group members are asked to maintain confidentiality about what is shared in the sessions. Therapists are also bound by professional confidentiality guidelines. However, there are exceptions in cases of harm to yourself or others, which the therapist will explain in the first session.
