Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves a therapist, psychologist, or certified addiction professional trained in group therapy who directs a therapy session with a group of individuals who are ideally all struggling with similar issues. Group therapy in Waterloo can take place in a rehab facility, a church, or similar place where this type of meeting can occur without disturbance. Group therapy is often a crucial aspect of addiction treatment.
If someone is receiving treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, group therapy and individual therapy, when combined, can offer recovery in various ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment know that they are not alone with their frustrations, troubles, challenges, etc. It can help individuals conquer social barriers and anxiety as well, because it can be difficult for someone to be open about such deep problems to people they really don't know very well. Once the shyness has faded, clients in group therapy achieve conviction and fellowship with others who are dealing with similar issues. And even more so, they can share in one another's progress and help each other make the positive improvements they need to make to recover by being part of a strong support system.
