It appears some think this is acceptable. For me it's not at all. I've never talked about trauma in group therapy. Wouldn't even consider it and I've been thrown into group therapy MANY times in my near 30 years in the psychiatric system. Some people CAN share in group settings. I can't. I try to help others which can have a therapudic effect but it doesn't help me move forward in the ways I need to. So I've been advocating they STOP putting me in useless groups. They help some people but for someone like me who has HUGE trust issues, it's a ridiculous treatment option. Even with one on one therapy, it's been hard to open up but I'm trying. There are many things I need help moving forward on but just can't "trust". It goes to reason that I don't want just anyone looking at personal details of my life that I've been unable to share for 3 decades!!!! They should intuitively know this if they were real "professionals". When I say my trust has been shattered, I mean it. It's not an exaggeration.
