why group therapy?
People participate in group therapy for many reasons. While serving as a more affordable form of therapy, groups also provide a way to normalize issues and show that others may share similar struggles. Groups provide an opportunity for peer support and provide a safe space to practice positive social skills. Also, groups allow anger management difficulties, social anxiety, and other peer-specific struggles to be addressed.
what do you do in therapy groups?
In therapy groups, members create dynamic art projects, play interactive games, and participate in therapy interventions specifically designed to work on the members' therapeutic goals. Group members participate in group projects to encourage communication, cooperation, and peer support. While group members work on a project together, the therapist coaches their interactions and teaches specific skills for communicating with one another. Group therapy focuses on making art, connecting the art to the members' lives, and interacting with one another.
For example, when the group members have demonstrated struggles with reacting appropriately when angry, the therapeutic intervention may involve making a volcano in the group and then making the volcano erupt. The members become engaged in making the volcano while the therapist and members explore times that the members have received a consequence after engaging in an undesirable behavior when angry. The volcano represents the member (when becoming angry) and the process of erupting represents the anger behavior (which resulted in a negative consequence). The therapist then may encourage discussion about appropriate anger behaviors and create a plan of action to take when angry. The hands-on activity of making the volcano will help the members to remember to use the anger plan and engage in appropriate behaviors when angry. Interventions, such as the volcano, are specifically tailored to the group members' therapeutic goals.
