Group Therapy
Ok. After months of one on one therapy, I will now be starting group work.
Starting next semester I will be going to group therapy every Tuesday for an hour and a half. We will work on personal goals and relationships within the group. We will focus on things that happen in the group, like how we react to each other, feedback to stories and problems, and how we feel. My main goal is to work on trusting people, which I have a problem with. I will also be working on being more detailed when I answer questions about myself as well as when I talk to people in general, I have a tendency to be vague and over generalize things. This prevents people from getting to know me, and also prevents me from developing the deeper relationships with people that I desire to have. The group therapy is a chance for me (and others) to experiment different techniques of relating to others and get feedback on how other people perceive this, as well as how they view me in general. I think it will be difficult at first. I will be nervous and anxious about it, but hopefully as the semester progress the therapy will benefit me, and I also hope to be a benefit for the group. Has anyone ever been a part of group therapy? What are your experiences with it?
