Ravel Mental Health Releases Guide on Unique Benefits of Group Therapy
This type of therapy is typically run in communities and consists of individuals seeking help for a common mental health condition. Having people with similar goals helping each other can reinforce peoples’ desire for change and may help people solve problems through other people's advice.
Group therapy sessions are run by a therapist who decides the forum's rules. They can choose to have their group have open discourse to help someone through a problem or may take it upon themselves to offer advice. Having a mediator can help guide questions and help those within the group reflect upon their problems and goals they’d like to achieve.
Group therapy can help people with a wide range of mental health conditions, such as:
• Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Depression
• Eating disorders
• Generalized anxiety disorders
• Panic disorder
• Phobias
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Substance use disorder
Group therapy has unique benefits that aren’t typically associated with individual treatment. One positive that comes from group therapy is that the members have accountability to follow through on their desire for change and can have people to reinforce that.
Many people find comfort in group therapy sessions because they’re surrounded by people living through similar circumstances. Members will also gain valuable perspectives and strategies for coping with their struggles from the other people within the group. It also allows someone to practice relating to others which can help them reflect and see how to support others and themselves better.
Group therapy is often a good choice for people looking for affordable therapy. Individual therapy can often be expensive and make it harder for people to receive their desired care.
