What is Group Therapy?

#grouptherapy
Today, in Therapy Corner, I discuss the key benefits of attending group therapy. This is an often overlooked therapy format that can help people access high quality care at an affordable rate - all while building community with peers going through similar struggles.
Group therapy consists of 6-10 people meting on a regular basis with a mental health professional to work through their issues together. In CBT, a very popular type of group therapy is that one for social anxiety disorder.

Can you explain ways to engage individuals in group therapy? I am working with adolescents experiencing psychosis. We are targeting motivation through aspirations. I want my clients to engage and learn from one another while seeing the value in human connection. How do I structure group therapy/conversation around activities?

I hope to answer my question and thank you 🤍
