I've never been to group therapy or to a support group, so I am not speaking from experience. It seems like both styles have their pros and cons. Perhaps make a pros and cons list and see if there are more pros about the group held at the hospital psych ward than cons. Perhaps that would help you see the potential benefits. It also may take time to feel comfortable sharing. I think that would be the case for me. I hope it works out for you. HUGS Kit
