Experiencing yourself in the company of others is even more intense for many than individual therapy. This is because the other participants bring up topics that I am spontaneously touched by and that can also be my topics. The mirroring of one’s own personality by the group or an individual participant can bring about very deep insights into one’s own behavior.
Through the other participants, topics are revealed that you are spontaneously touched by – and these can also be your own. Mirroring your own personality through the group or individual participants can bring very deep insights into your own behavior.
In the group, you experience how you affect other people and how other people respond to you. You can observe how others deal with similar difficulties and learn from their experiences. At the same time, the group offers the opportunity to try out new behaviors and develop social skills.
Group therapy is particularly suitable for people who want to strengthen their ability to form relationships, who want to overcome social fears, or who want to benefit from the experiences of others. Also, if you feel that you repeatedly fall into similar patterns in your life, the group can help you recognize and change them.
What is discussed in the group stays in the group. This agreement creates a safe framework in which you can open up and be authentic.
