Group Therapy is an opportunity to have deeper and more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and other people. As social creatures, we cannot meaningfully live a life without having deep relationships. While relationships may have historically created pain and suffering for us, they also provide us the means to our own peace and happiness. Group therapy provides us a space to work out our relational problems.
A process group is a weekly gathering where we have the opportunity to put into words all of our thoughts and feelings about ourselves, our problems, and our lives.
Reasons for joining a process group may include:
How we feel about ourselves is dependent on how others feel about us – group therapy allows us to talk openly about how others affect us. Group also allows us to see and break the patterns of dysfunction in our relationships.
Unlike a support group where members with common ailments or symptoms trade encouragement, process groups are more oriented towards immediacy – meaning how we are thinking and feeling in-the-moment about ourselves and other group members. Staying present to our feelings with other people is a powerful tool that deepens our intimacy capacity.
By fully expressing ourselves in a group and staying open to connect with others – we improve our self-esteem and succeed both inside and outside of the group.
