• Learning to be close: When you join a group you gradually become close with other group members and overcome barriers to closeness by exploring your issues with others whom you trust. You are safe and with others who are working on relationships too.
• Finding a relationship: group psychotherapy can help you become more relaxed when talking to new people and learn how to connect with new people more easily.
• Social isolation: group psychotherapy is a way to learn how to be friends with others and to bring new people into your life.
• Boundaries: Group Psychotherapy is a way of learning to take care of yourself better and to set boundaries in relationships.
• Social needs: A group is a warm and caring environment where you can have some of your needs for contact and closeness met as you learn about yourself in relationships.
