Description of service

I took part in a group therapy session that included using writing to help deal with inner issues. There were between 5-15 people in any given meeting. The cost for each session was $75, though you could get a 10 class option for $600 total. I elected to purchase each class individually.


Review of Service

Overall, I'd say I got a lot out of this type of group therapy. Each week we had a specific topic that we'd discuss. We'd then have a group writing time were we'd all sit and write about the topic. Once that time was over (usually about an hour) anyone who wanted to share what they'd written could.

There were many breakthroughs throughout the year I went to these classes on and off. It was a unique experience because we could both write about our own experiences and hear about similar experiences others had had. This helped me to not feel quite as alone and to be better able to relate to others.

Each session technically lasted 2 hours but often we'd be there for 2 1/2 hours or more.


Tips

I would highly recommend this type of group setting. Even if you're shy, you can find a group therapy option where you can start out by simply sitting in and observing until you begin to feel comfortable.
