I have been in and led many groups and I love them! But, the key is finding the right one. Look at age range, gender, topics, location, length of time - whether ongoing or a limited number of sessions, type of therapy used (like psychodynamic, art therapy, CBT, DBT, etc). Find out about any homework assignments and how many therapists run the group. Also ask about how many people are allowed in the group. Group therapy works best when there is good chemistry among group members and when you can relate to the therapists. Sometimes a combination of indiv therapy and group therapy work best. It's worth checking into. Lots of groups also have a sliding scale to make it affordable. Good luck with the process and feel free to ask more questions if needed.
