Hi Sidony,

I read your post about group therapy. I think it's possible your experience in group could get better in time. I also hope you'll do what is best for you, whatever you think that is. If you've been going to group for some time now, and you're still not having a positive experience with it and you'd like to take a break or stop altogether, I hope you'll listen to that within yourself. Even if your T is recommending group therapy, you still have the option to tell your T that you think individual therapy is working out, but group therapy doesn't seem like the best match for you right now. That's valid....group sessions don't always meet everyone's needs! I know some friends for whom group therapy been very helpful, but I've tried it and I know it didn't seem to work out very well for me either. I think this is partly because I'm a very introverted person and am more likely to listen than talk....it's much easier for me to communicate one-on-one. I think there are so many things in life for which one size doesn't fit all. It's true in therapy also; one approach doesn't work for everyone. Group therapy is helpful for some folks, and other people do better sticking with individual therapy. And that's okay.....it's good for us to learn what works best for us, and in what situations we can do our best growing and learning. Or at least that's what I think!

Take care, I wish you all the best.

Take care,
