The benefits of group therapy are that you not only receive therapeutic intervention from me, but also from observing others with similar issues and receiving feedback from other group members. In this process, you might recognize that you are not alone feeling the way you do. The distressing veils of isolation are lifted along with the burdens of being separate from others. This creates a sense of connectedness and belonging.
Furthermore, you will also gain multiple benefits through self-expression and positive awareness while learning coping mechanisms, social skills, effective communication skills and conflict resolution.
