What is group therapy?
Group Therapy is a shared therapeutic experience which includes the presence of others who are working through similar issues. Group Therapy can focus on interpersonal relationships or on particular concerns shared by group members. Is Group Therapy confidential? YES! It is expected that all group members and leaders will be treated with respect especially regarding confidentiality. You can speak to your friends and family about what you are learning and how you are working to change, but you cannot talk about other group members or the information shared by group members outside of group sessions. Ask your clinician for group information and referrals.
