Group therapy is really beneficial because people come to realise they aren't alone in their struggles and can then share helpful stories to encourage others
Beware what you try. I stayed against my better judgement for over a year in group analytic psychotherapy. My health declined, I felt suicidal and unable to think about anything besides the fear I felt about the therapist and their tactics. Crudely manipulative and judgemental. My autonomy degraded with repeated insistence that I would not accept the "care" of the group. A terrifying experience that will forever mean I cannot conceive of trusting someone who calls themselves a "psychotherapist." Be careful. People who think they know what's best for other people, are the most dangerous of all.
Can we help the other psychiatrist to the other Supply to his and then let us apply to
I love group therapy
I‘m going to a Klinik soon and I’m so scared of group therapy…
Group therapy was very helpful for me. I went for a little over a month. It was something about being around other people who feel the same things as I did. And everyone was so supportive of each other. The therapist shared different tips and games with us. I only stopped because as an empath, it can be hard hearing the hurt of others so often. I want to take everyone's pain away but I can't. So, I had to remind myself that I am there mostly for myself. So, when I felt that I got what I needed, I took a break. It's been 4 years and I still think about how profound it was for me. Even as a more reserved, private and quiet person, sometimes just listening was enough to make a difference. Or saying just one sentence aloud on how I feel today, made a difference too.
I'm watching this because im gonna start group therapy and my super nervous
I hate therapy it just makes me more mad
First
I really fucking hate group therapy. It’s trash.
I don't know if I could do group therapy I wouldn't want to tell a bunch of strangers my personal issues.
let’s say your name is Jerry and you go to group therapy and introduce yourself does everyone say “Hi Jerry” simultaneously?
Can I use this video for my project please
Could you please suggest any training programs on group therapy for psychotherapists? Thank you
I’ve been in several group therapy sessions/classes through the ARMHS program and I’ve been involved for almost two years……it’s really helped me feel less alone
