Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy that consists of a psychologist, therapist, or an addiction specialist adept in group therapy who directs a therapy session with a group of clients who are ideally all experiencing similar challenges. Group therapy in San Mateo can take place in a rehabilitation center, a church, or similar place where the meeting can happen without distraction. Group therapy is typically a fundamental part of substance treatment.
If an individual is in treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, group therapy and individualized therapy, when done together, can provide healing in various ways. Group therapy can help an individual in treatment know that they are not alone with their problems, frustrations, troubles, challenges, etc. Group therapy can help individuals conquer social anxiety as well, because it can be challenging for an individual to be open about such deep issues to people they really don't know very well. Once the shyness has faded, people in group therapy achieve conviction and camaraderie with others who are dealing with similar problems. And even more so, they can share in one another's personal improvements and help one another make the positive improvements they must make to recover by being involved in a robust support system.
