In reply to One On One Therapy or Group....or both?, posted by Greg on August 18, 2000, at 6:29:56
Hello Gregory: How've ya been?
I think I would be terrified to air my dirty laundry in a group but then again, it's probably what a person like myself needs to get over her fear of being "found out." I like the one on one stuff but I can see how group would be beneficial. YOur AA meetings were a kind of group therapy session, how'd ya feel about them? Do you think the group atmosphere helped you kick the habit because you were accountable to the others? Maybe there's a competition element to group like "If that person can do it, so can I" Never been in group but I think it would be good to try at some point but I also agree with everyone else here. Go slow. One step at a time.
Love ya

I'm currently in one on one, but am wondering if I might benefit from a group environment in addition to, or instead of. Can ya'll share your experiences with me? I'd appreciate it!
