What can I expect in group counseling?

Some group counseling sessions focus on interpersonal dynamics within the group, offering you an opportunity to practice communication skills, conflict resolution, and social skills within a safe, artificial setting as opposed to the “real world.”

Other types of groups are supportive, focused on what is happening outside the group as opposed to within it – for example, addiction recovery groups, eating disorder recovery groups, divorce recovery, domestic violence support groups, etc. You can meet each week with a qualified therapist, as well as other people who are going through a similar experience that you are.

In a group, you will constantly be reminded that you are not alone in your struggle. That is an invaluable reminder. You will also be able to practice receiving feedback from multiple people and put some of your skills to use, as well as having the benefit of seeing and learning from other people’s experiences. Group therapy allows you to extend compassion to others. It can also be less intense than individual counseling.

Research has shown that group therapy is often just as effective as individual therapy, depending on the situation. If you are interested in starting with a support group or another kind of group counseling, please contact us today at Pasadena Christian Counseling to find out how you can get started.
