Group therapy can be more powerful than individual, couple, and family therapy for many reasons.
Two examples:
1️⃣ Members realize that their private struggles are shared by others; this normalization and validation helps us feel okay.
2️⃣ Members share the struggle to allow in the truth in a way that heals rather than shames.
For every group therapy session I lead, the starting point is safety and confidentiality. All participants must know that they have complete autonomy within the group. We’ll start each session off by discussing the group guidelines that all participants must follow in order to make it a safe place. Everyone will be treated with respect, regardless of the subject matter that comes up.
Two versions of group therapy, one for couples, and another for individuals in a relationship, will begin in late October- visit https://rogerschwarz.com/services/ to learn more and schedule a consultation.
