Group therapy: mysterious, powerful, and sometimes a little intimidating. But what really happens in those sessions?
Today, your hosts, psychotherapists Christina Crowe and Katie Richardson, sit down with Jared Dalton from Blueprint Counselling in London, ON, to pull back the curtain on group therapy—its benefits, misconceptions, and who it’s best suited for.
🔍 In this episode, we explore:
- The key differences between group therapy and individual therapy
- How group therapy can be life-changing for people with social anxiety
- How to choose the right group by identifying what’s important to you
