First day at group yesterday due to lack of insurance and

As you all may know i got forced into a group due to lack of insurance which i am waiting to get so no more individual therapy my t is my group t now but its not the same, this is a trauma group i feel so exposed i feel i have no safe room anymore i feel like someone opened the door to our therapy room and let all these ppl in

on one hand i feel ok that she is the group therapist because i get to see her weekly but its shared time, i cant talk to her because there are others in the room, i feel disgusted angry and sad thank god for you guys at pc i still have support.

i am somewhat jealous that i have to share her, i have so many things going on that i have to process alone.

I am going into depression but i will try my best to hang in there with this group, nothing like being yanked abruptly from individual to a group, i have so many emotions right now.

Oh, I'm so sorry you are having this difficulty. I had that happen to where individual therapy suddenly became group. Have you been in a group at all before? That too can be difficult.

What I found helpful was having individual and group therapy together but with different therapists (all of whom I knew; I had a male and a female group therapists, they were not related to one another, just long-time coworkers and then I had a different individual therapist).

I hope you get more comfortable in group and get to know some of the others there a bit better so it is not so scary.

I am so sorry sweepy. So, so sorry. I identify so strongly with you right now. It effing sucks. That's all I can say.

I am sorry it became an involuntary group for you. Groups sound quite difficult to me.

we are so sorry and we can very strongly identify with the jealousy part especially,its painful and hard but give yourself credit for going even knowing how hard it might be♥♥♥

UGH. I can imagine how difficult that must feel. I am in individual and group T - and my group T facilitator is my individual T. I sooooo understand the sharing aspect....even though group has been of tremendous value for me.

I try to view it as - now I have invited more people into my life to grow, support and bond with....and to allow to help support me.....with T right by my side along the way.
