the Price of Group Therapy

I went to a group therapy group that focused on dealing with issues via writing and sharing with the group. It was $65 per week. The session was between an hour and an hour a half.

I went to a therapy group that dealt with over eaters. Each week we started the session out by talking about how our weeks had been. Then we free wrote on a topic for 15 minutes or so. Those who wanted to share could. It was supposed to be an hour but it often went up to a half an hour over that time because people wanted a chance to share.

I don't know how effective it was as a healing experience. However, it did definitely get me thinking about things in a different way. The only complaint I had was that it was a 12 week session and if we missed more than one session we were kicked out, unless it was due to a medical emergency. It was a little difficult to fit into my schedule but I think it was worth it.

You should probably go into this kind of experience with the goal of just learning a little more about yourself rather than hoping to be completely cured in a matter of 12 weeks.
