I've done a lot of group therapy. I wont lie, I found it difficult. I'm a fairly quiet person anyway and in a group setting I just clam up. Although it was valuable listening to other people talk about their problems and I felt less alone.

In the group therapy sessions there would be a couple of professionals leading and the rest patients. The patients would talk about anything they wanted and the professionals would help guide the discussion and offer advice when needed.

I would definately give it a go though. When I did manage to speak it was good because I got a lot of feedback and insight. It's good to get other people's perspective on your issues because you can't see everything clearly yourself.
