Frequently asked questions
Group Therapy
What is Group Therapy?
What do I talk about in the group?
Good place to start is by Letting the group members know why you initially came to therapy and sharing what you hope to get from the group. It is important to tell the group your expectations and how you want to be supported. The first few sessions of a group usually focus on the establishment of trust. During this time, members work to establish a level of safety that allows them to talk personally and honestly with one another.
How would it benefit me?
Group therapy sessions have five (5) benefits:
What if i'm too uncomfortable to discuss my problems?
When you meet people for the first time, it is hard to know what to say and how much to trust them. Trusting is a process that develops as group members take risks and increasingly share more of themselves. It helps to remember that groups are usually small and that other group members are usually struggling with similar concerns. Letting the group know that you are uncomfortable can be a first step, and often promotes a useful group discussion about the issue of trust among members.
Is what I say kept confidential?
We strictly value confidentiality. We offer safe and secure place for you to open up and provide you with the support you need. One of our group rules is to ensure that all group memebrs adhere to the confidentiality and respect everyone's privacy. As per our facilitators, we strictly adhere to client-counsellor confidentiality. The only time we might have to disclose information is when you tell us you are intending to self harm or others and if our notes get subpoened. We have a duty of care to ensure you are safe.
What are the expectations as a group member?
All group members are expected to respect the confidentiality of the group. Group members are asked to make a commitment to protect each other’s confidentiality by agreeing not to divulge information that would violate the identity of others outside the group.
