GROUP THERAPY

Group therapy is more than just a treatment; it’s a transformative experience where connections and bonds foster healing. Often described as “triple-E” (effective, equivalent to individual therapy, and efficient), group therapy offers a powerful and affordable way to achieve therapeutic goals.

​

In group therapy, participants engage in meaningful interactions that enhance self-awareness and understanding of others. We explore vulnerability and experience firsthand the impact we have on one another. The group setting provides a safer environment to experiment with new behaviours, share personal insights, and navigate challenging emotions that arise from interpersonal dynamics.​​

​

Through these connections, individuals learn to articulate their thoughts and feelings openly, fostering a space where inner experiences are shared and understood. Group therapy reveals that we are not alone in our struggles; others offer support, share similar experiences, and collaborate in problem-solving. The setting also allows for feedback on interactions, helping identify and overcome barriers to achieving personal goals.​

​

​Group therapy not only supports individuals but also addresses deeper issues such as understanding barriers to fulfilling relationships, managing conflicts, and discovering how conflicts can lead to greater intimacy. The ultimate aim is to equip participants with the skills necessary for enriching relationships beyond the therapy room.

​​​

In group, participants:

• Allow others to affect them.

• Communicate openly and honestly about their reactions.

• Actively work on identified problems using the group process.

• Express thoughts and feelings verbally instead of through actions.

 

I am currently interviewing individuals for upcoming groups aiming to begin in late October 2024. For more information about current groups, please see below.​​

My approach is rooted in interpersonal process-oriented group therapy. To learn more about this approach, you can explore additional resources here and here.

 

Whether you are a new or existing patient, I encourage you to book in for a Free Meet & Greet for New Group Therapy Patients to discuss whether group might be right for you. And to learn a bit more about group with me, please feel free to read a sample Group Therapy Agreement.
