What’s The Difference Between Group Therapy & Individual Therapy?
Both individual therapy (therapeutic space between just you and a therapist) and group therapy (therapeutic space with multiple different clients at once) can provide wonderful opportunities for healing and transformation. However, group therapy is different in that it offers a way to build and maintain community, as well as to heal through positive relationships. After a couple years of quarantine and the burnout associated with less social contact due to the COVID19 Pandemic, group therapy just hits differently. Many of us are craving deeper and more meaningful connections, and our support groups in Seattle are a precious opportunity to grow in these ways.
