Group therapy is a dynamic and powerful form. Groups focused on addiction and recovery, loss and grieving, women’s or men’s issues, along with other specialty topics, can provide understanding and acceptance to the person who is suffering. Exchanging of ideas, feelings, perceptions and needs, allow the group members to form safe bonds as they delve into difficult issues. Group is often but not always used in conjunction with individual therapy. Clients can take issues explored in their individual sessions to the group and receive feedback that continues to inform and nurture the individual session.
In group therapy we practice:
- relationship building
- conflict resolution
- effective communication
- dealing with emotions
- deep listening
“Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.”
