I tried group therapy run by several therapists including mine. It was most unsatisfying. My therapist treated me like she didn't really know me. Yet the other therapists were giving hugs to their own clients. Maybe it made me jealous, like sibling rivalry. I didn't like it when my therapist gave time to others but not me. I finally quit. Maybe my reaction was due to the strong transference and the long time I had been with that therapist. It made me feel invisible, unimportant, and abandoned. I don't think I will try group therapy/support group if my own therapist is involved.
