How can group therapy help anxiety?
When anxiety is in charge, it’s very hard to be the person we want to be. It closes in, and it makes us feel like we’re fighting to stay afloat, like waves of fear are crashing down and we’re struggling to get our breath. We don’t have to live this way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Groups (ACT-G) is an evidence-based method that opens doors to a bigger, richer, more fulfilling life.
Group therapy is different because:
With more voices, there is more to learn. There’s power in the feedback from real people, not just the therapist.
Practicing new skills is more dynamic (and more fun?) when you’re with other people who are learning the same stuff.
A group is a relationship, which can help you improve relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
It can be scary to join a group, and some people experience enormous growth from doing such scary things.
You’ll hear from others who get what you’re going through, folks who are struggling with the same stuff you are. And they get to hear from YOU.
Introduction to the group.
What happens in group therapy?
Meet the group.
This group is made of 6-8 adults who struggle with mild to severe anxiety in different domains of their lives. Some people struggle with social anxiety. A small group like this allows you to connect with the other members and not disappear.
Safe and confidential.
You will see the same people every week—not new folks each session. You’ll get to know them and gain strength from real connections. Everyone is expected to respect the privacy of group members so you can be yourself and get what you need.
All identities are welcome and respected. Group members are held to a standard of mutual respect for preferred pronouns.
Weekly meetings.
The Age of Anxiety group meets 1x per week, and admits new members at the beginning of each month. Current group members are welcome to stay on for another round!
Support, Skills, and Education.
It’s easy to get isolated these days. A huge part of this treatment is the connection with other people that it offers. Part of our focus will be on sharing mutual support and solidarity.
The other focus is on the phenomena of anxiety, it’s physical and mental processes, and learning the skills to diminish its power in our lives.
