Here are some of the ways group will benefit your clients-
When your clients participate in a group they realize that their problems are not unique and that they are not alone.
Groups are comprised of members with different levels of recovery. Seeing other people who are coping well provides hope to those who are just beginning the process.
Therapy groups are just like families. Members get to explore the way childhood experiences are impacting their relationships in the present.
Here are some ways group will benefit your practice-
Witnessing an individual client interact in a group setting will offer you some insight into the way that client interacts with people in his/her personal life.
Groups are exciting and dynamic, and the experience will provide you with an opportunity to use clinical skills you don’t get to practice with individual clients.
If the client is not in individual therapy, they might decide to see you for concurrent group and individual therapy.
