Top Group Therapy related questions
It depends on your goals and your preference. Group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy. The only difference is with group therapy, you’re going to be with other people with similar experiences and problems as you. They can listen, give feedback, as well as provide different perspectives and increased support. But, of course, you can also have both at the same time if you think it’s best for you.
A group therapy session can be structured, where your group therapist facilitates and moderates the discussion, like a workshop, and focuses on a particular topic. Some group therapy sessions are also less structured, and members are free to bring up issues that they deem relevant. This approach focuses more on the members’ interpersonal styles and how they interact with each other.
It’s normal to feel anxious and shy, especially in the first few sessions. But rest assured that your group therapist is trained to help all members join in the conversation and work through their anxiety. As more sessions go by, most new members find themselves sharing in ways they had not expected. Remember that the group is a safe space, and anything you say will be heard, respected, and bound by confidentiality.
It can be awkward and difficult if you know someone else in the group. In this case, feel free to let your group therapist know as soon as possible. One of you may need to transfer to a different group, or it may work out to have both of you stay in the same group. Whatever happens, your Tasker will be there with you as you sort things out and find the best solution.
Staying in group therapy has no definite and fixed timeline. As long as you or your group therapist feel beneficial for you, you can stay. Some people attend for a few sessions, while others stay for a year or more. It all depends on your needs and goals and whether they have been met or not.
It depends on the ground rules that your group has established. But generally, as a group member, you are expected to attend regularly to establish commitment and group cohesion and let your group know if you must miss a session. Be as open and honest as you can when sharing your concerns, and always remember to share the talk time with others.

What do group therapy services include?
Group therapy means having one or more therapists working with several individuals in the same group at the same time. It allows you to better understand your situation by sharing your issues and concerns with other people in a safe and confidential space. Group therapy also helps you navigate your interpersonal skills and improve your relationships. Here are the most common types of group therapy near you:
Support group therapy
Support groups are for people who are going through significant life changes and bring together those who have similar experiences. A common ground could be divorce, parenting a sick child, working through addictions, weight loss, coping with mental and terminal illnesses, or losing a loved one. This allows the members to listen and share their experiences and feelings, coping strategies, and firsthand information about the issues they’re struggling with. The members provide mutual support and validation that encourage personal growth and positive change.
Psychoeducational group therapy
For those struggling with certain disorders, psychoeducational group therapy can teach you different ways to cope productively and maintain your health and wellness. Being in a group with people having similar diagnoses can allow the members to share similar experiences, ask difficult questions, listen to one another to learn more about their own condition and needs. You will also learn how to develop positive thinking, communication, anger, conflict, and stress management.
Cognitive-behavioural group therapy
Cognitive-behavioural group therapy focuses on restructuring the beliefs and identifying the situations and environments that lead to negative or harmful behaviours. Your Tasker guides and works with you to control your thought processes and problematic behaviours and help you acquire the tools and skills needed to do away with negative patterns and proactively cope with triggers and stressors. With this, members can create and develop management strategies to help them get through unwanted behaviours.
If you want to take it a step further, you can set up goals that can help you lead a better life. Hiring a life coach can help you make progress, achieve your goals, and attain better fulfilment.
Interpersonal process group therapy
Unlike most therapy groups, interpersonal process group therapy focuses on group dynamics and how members interact with each other. Like in support group therapy, members in interpersonal process group therapy are also encouraged to give support and feedback to others, but the latter also emphasises the need to examine reactions and responses interpersonally within their conversations and exchanges. This type of group therapy helps those experiencing difficult interpersonal relationships or those who like to maintain their interpersonal growth.
