What can I expect from a group therapy treatment?
Groups meet regularly once or twice a week for an hour and a half. Group members are expected to attend all group sessions. Each group has a slowly changing membership - up to a maximum of eight participants.
After some individual sessions with the group conductor, the new member will join the group when a suitable vacancy occurs. Individuals decide with the help of the group, including the conductor, when they are ready to leave.
Group meetings are confidential and members are asked not to meet each other outside the group. Group sessions consist of a discussion with no formal agenda.
Participants are encouraged to bring their concerns and to respond as honestly as possible. The interaction between people in the group setting often echoes the individual's experience outside the group, but with the possibility of working through it in a new way.
