Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy that consists of a therapist, psychologist, or an addiction professional experienced in group therapy who directs a therapy session with a group of individuals who are typically experiencing similar difficulties. Group therapy in Athens can take place in a rehabilitation program, a church, or similar setting where the meeting can take place without distraction. Group therapy is typically a vital component of addiction treatment.
If someone is receiving treatment for substance abuse and addiction, group therapy and individual therapy, when done together, can provide healing in various ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment know that they are not alone with their problems, troubles, etc. It can also help someone get over social anxiety as well, since it can be difficult for someone to open up about personal problems to people they really don't even know. Once the shyness has lifted, individuals in group therapy gain conviction and affinity with others who are experiencing similar issues. And even more so, they can share in each other's progress and help one another make the positive improvements they should make to recover by being part of a strong support system.
