Who is it for?
It is important to recognize that group therapy is not the right approach for everyone. The therapist carefully considers each individual’s needs and circumstances when determining whether group therapy is appropriate for them. While some people may initially have reservations about joining a group, many discover that the experience offers valuable insights into themselves, deepens their understanding of others, and supports meaningful personal growth.
“How does it work?”
Group psychotherapy is a therapeutic process in which 5 to 8 individuals meet regularly with one or more therapists, creating a supportive environment for personal growth and the exploration of personal challenges. At the heart of the process are confidentiality, trust, and mutual respect, which provide the foundation for a safe and meaningful therapeutic experience.
Group sessions usually take place once a week and last two hours, at the same time and on the same day each week. Regular attendance and active participation are essential to the therapeutic process, as a consistent commitment to the group helps build trust, continuity, and a strong sense of connection among its members.
Within the group, members share personal experiences and emotions while relating to one another in ways that mirror their everyday relationships. These interactions provide valuable opportunities for self-reflection, helping members recognize and better understand their thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior as they emerge in the present moment.
How can group psychotherapy help?
Group psychotherapy offers a safe and supportive space for self-expression, connection, and personal growth. Through the experience of being part of a group, members share their experiences, connect with others, and discover new perspectives that can enrich their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Through their interactions with others, members develop a deeper understanding of themselves and those around them. The group serves as both a mirror and a supportive environment for personal growth and change.
The Role of the Therapist
The therapist acts as a facilitator, creating the conditions for the group to function safely and effectively. They help members explore the issues that arise in greater depth, while supporting them in recognizing and understanding the connections and patterns that emerge through their interactions within the group.
Duration and Frequency
Therapeutic groups typically meet once a week at a set day and time, with each session lasting 120 minutes.
