How can it help?

    Learning From Others' Experiences

    At times, it is difficult for a patient to believe that a therapist can relate to his feelings especially if the latter has never been through the same struggles. But in group counselling, participants can better connect with other people who have also dealt with the same problems. Regardless of the types of group therapy involved, therapists will also benefit from such arrangement because they will have an easier time in convincing the participants that a certain strategy or treatment is effective especially if another participant can vouch for it.

    Built-in Support System

    Through group therapy, participants can give and receive support to other people who share similar experiences. Therapists who facilitate group therapy usually encourage their participants to lean on each other, share tips and ideas on how to overcome their struggles, and collectively find ways to improve their lives. Participants are also able to move forward and past dark chapters because of the support and encouragement they get from their peers.

    Building New Relationships

    Participants in group therapy sessions also tend to develop good and healthy friendships with each other. These relationships can also extend outside of the therapy. It is easier for people to bond with other individuals who understand what they’re going through.

    Uncover Blind Spots

    Uncover the Blind Spots that may be holding you back – everyone in the Group holds up a Mirror to help you see Yourself through their Eyes.
