Group Therapy

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people at once. Group therapy is sometimes used alone, but it is also commonly integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes individual therapy and medication.

Group therapy helps different members of the group gain perspective on their own issues, since the group is comprised of members who are at either the end of their therapy process, in between or simply starting out with therapy. The group dynamic enables the newcomers to see how therapy has helped those who are now in advanced stages of it.

When therapy is conducted in a group, the members feel safe and secure knowing that others too are affected can be affected by the same kind of issues they are. One of the most crippling feelings can be that of isolation, with group therapy an individual knows that he or she is not alone is facing mental health issues. The universality of group therapy comforts those, especially newcomers, who would feel ashamed or unsure about needing therapy in the first place.

Group therapy in India has been practiced for decades, with practitioners understanding the reassuring nature and benefits of group therapy. By sharing their experiences in a safe environment, group members strengthen and boost the self-esteem and confidence of others present as well. The healing goes beyond the therapy provided by the therapists, the group itself helps others come out of their shell and be open to help and guidance.
