Group Therapy Plantation, Broward County
Florida
group therapy plantation is a powerful and highly effective
method of addressing interpersonal issues. Problems that are
well-suited to group therapy include: patterns of relationship
dysfunction, social skills and communication enhancement,
and issues related to intimacy and trust. When people enter
group therapy and interact freely with other group members,
they often recreate the difficulties that brought them to
therapy in the first place. While interpersonal issues are often
initially addressed during individual therapy, group therapy
offers multiple relationships to assist the individual in further
growth and problem solving.
People who make good candidates for group therapy may
have:
 Desire for personal growth
 Shyness
 Interpersonal difficulties
 Social anxiety
 Have problems “fitting in”
 Problematic behaviors
 Conflict with coworkers or peers
 Difficulties with assertiveness
 Feel misunderstood by others
 Frequent feelings of anger
 Patterns of family or relationship problems
 Problems with trust and intimacy
 Existential concerns
Group therapy provides the unique opportunity to observe
and reflect on your own and others’ interpersonal skills and to
give and receive feedback in an interpersonal context that
more accurately reflects real life. Under the skilled direction
of the therapist, the group is able to give support, offer
alternatives, or gently confront the person. Through this
process, insight is gained, alternative behaviors are learned,
and the person develops new and more effective ways of
relating to others.
