Group Therapy

I agree, Hodge - - therapists are paid to provide group referrals. I have most times been referred through my therapist. My first support group was not very good, but I met a friend there and I know he'll be my friend for life. What a gift to meet someone who is a support to me and I to him.

I just recently started a therapy group for both my PTSD and depression/anxiety, and I really didn't like it, but the therapist was good. I learned a tool from the session. The people in the group scared me, quite frankly, and annoyed me. However, sometimes you have to give it a couple of tries. If I don't like it after the second time then I will try another one. This group, though, was recommended through my clinical social worker. I would not ever go to a group not recommended by mental health coordinators again, because one time I tried a general support group advertised at a church and it was the kookiest group of people I'd ever experienced. I was running to my car afterwards, in the dark, hoping none of them would follow me home. What I'm saying is, be careful with groups.
