I love group therapy. But it takes the right clinician to keep things balanced and not let one person dominate the session. It sounds like your clinician may not be skilled in group facilitation and looking at the broader issues behind the details that everyone can relate to.

Another factor may be your level of participation. Are you proactive in bringing up topics or do you let others do the talking? If someone's going on and on about the same thing, do you say something about it? How do others in the group respond to these one-topic sessions? There may be others who are as frustrated as you are. If you're feeling unheard, let the group know. Be the first to speak up in the session.

If that doesn't seem to help, then maybe it's time to find another group.
