Hi Maya24,

The Group therapy program I am in is complete next week, and I am full of gratitude to the members and the leaders through out the entire program.

From the very first day of being very nervous and then growing to feel safe and trusting in the 'group wisdom' that allowed me to grow.

I would suggest to give GT a try, as others have mentioned, you may be encouraged to talk but it is all up to you when you are ready.
The feeling of "i am not alone" when hearing members stories. Then the feedback given and received helps in so many ways with confidence.

Most Group norms are what happens in group stays in group. And making sure everyone is safe.

GT was for me a lot of intense work and worth the rewards, learning self care with practice as part of the therapy-relaxation, meditation and homework was added as the group progressed.
I am in a much better place to manage the depression. GT for me is a place of hope.
All the best,
G1
