When you join a group, you begin to see that you are not alone. Many people feel they are unique because of their problems, and it is encouraging to hear that other people have similar difficulties. In the safe-enough environment of the group and the group therapist, you can feel more free to care about yourself and others. As you interact freely with other group members, the difficulties that brought you into group begin to emerge. In the watchful presence of a group therapist, the group is able to give support, offer alternatives, or gently confront unhealthy behaviors. In this way the difficulty becomes resolved, alternative behaviors are learned, and you develop new healthier ways of being in the world and relating to others.
