Detailed explanation-1: -In general, research finds that both group therapy and individual therapy are relatively equivalent in their effectiveness in addressing substance use disorder and a broad range of mental health disorders, too.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some disadvantages of group therapy include having to share a therapist with other clients, when someone may want to have one-on-one time. Another disadvantage is being in the room with other people who have very different personalities, causing some to not get along or feel comfortable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as depression, obesity, panic disorder, social anxiety, chronic pain or substance abuse. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem.
Detailed explanation-4: -With group therapy, you are with people who are dealing with the same or similar issues. This common understanding of a difficult experience nurtures trust and makes any judgment a lot less likely. Sharing feelings with the group can also help relieve the pain or stress you may be feeling.
