Hi @Former-Member,

I'm doing a quick fly-by and I wanted to respond to your posts about group therapy. I can totally understand why it would distress you that your psychiatrist brought up the idea of group therapy - especially given it sounds like he said some other unhelpful things too. At the same time, I just wanted to throw it out there, that I'm wondering if you have an accurate picture in your brain of what group therapy tends to look like. 

I've seen enough crazy things done in the name of "treatment" to avoid making categorical statements, but NORMALLY group therapy is about learning skills to cope with your issues and getting the benefit of hearing others say "hey, I experience that too." Group therapy usually does not involve sharing any icky details of your story. Indeed, there is usually a rule that people must not share such details. 

Of course, you may already know this and still feel it isn't the right fit for you, which is a bazillion percent ok. However, I just wanted to share it in case you had a picture in your brain of everyone being asked to share the super icky stuff.

Haha @Bunniekins you make me laugh, but I can only pick one!!

@Former-Member It is such a personal thing ... I would try before I buy ... it is the only way to do it.

Thanks @Phoenix_Rising

I have never done the group therapy thing before so guess I am a bit hesitant on it. My pdoc did talk about learning skills to cope with my issues. He said that some people there share their story which is why I am hesitant. I certainly would not but am mindful that if others share their story that it might trigger me. Being triggered in a room full of strangers would not be helpful at all!

Thank you for your input. I think I need to ask a lot more questions before I even consider doing it.

Compromise would be the eaple. Flies and yet is fierce. Stands alone.
