Group Therapy
What is Group therapy all about?
- ACCEPTANCE: Having a safe place to talk to others about your concerns.
- UNIVERSALITY: Feeling that you’re not alone and realizing that others share the same problems.
- FEEDBACK: It is a safe place to learn how you’re perceived by others and it gives you the chance to be assertive in telling others how you experience them.
