The Advantages of Group Counseling and Therapy
Group counseling and therapy have specific benefits that make them highly effective in conjunction with individual counseling and therapy.
- Group counseling and therapy offer participants the opportunity to form strong bonds and to serve as a self-contained support network.
- Group counseling and therapy allow clients to experience very different viewpoints from their own, which can be valuable in helping them grow as individuals.
- Group counseling and therapy help people develop stronger communication skills, and teach them positive ways to express their emotions and handle criticism from others.
- Being open about your struggles and hearing from those who face similar challenges can be highly therapeutic.
