For those of you who have been or are currently in group therapy, what were the first few sessions like? Next Tuesday will be my first time, and I am quite nervous about the whole thing. Along with fears about any group, I am even more nervous because it is all female, and because it is for survivors of csa. I was told it is fine if it takes me a while to speak and open up, but really how common is it to have trouble communicating in the group setting? Did you feel pressure to share and contribute at first, or were you able to move along at your own pace? Are there any tips you have to make things easier, and to get the most out of the process? I would appreciate any input.
