Many years ago I saw a therapist both individually and also in a group setting. It worked fine for me. Actually I think it was rather beneficial to see him in both settings, but if you aren't comfortable with it, don't do it. It sounds like yours just feels you would benefit by having that kind of therapy stucture a bit longer, like he is a bit concerned about you stopping therapy altogether at this point. Would that be correct?

Also, that group therapy experience was one of the most difficult, yet one of the most beneficial, therapy experiences I have ever had. It was a group of about 8 women and we all were CSA survivors. The commonality was really important to making the group so successful. I think a group just made up of random people who don't have a common issue would be more difficult and less helpful, but that's just my gut feeling about it. Inquire as to what kind of group this would be.
