The first and determining factor that people come to a psychotherapy group for is change. There are three areas in which they occur.
Emotional. At this level, in a group, a person receives: acceptance, care, tolerance for himself and others, interest, cooperation with group members, experiences strong emotions next to other people and receives support. Also, in the process of participating in group therapy, a collective emotional experience is formed, which makes it possible to react in a new way in life in situations of intense emotional stress. Faith and hope are strengthened and empowered to achieve goals.
Behavioral. The group provides an opportunity to safely experiment with new forms of behavior. In a group, you can study your behavioral characteristics, experiment with different ways of behaving in different situations of interaction with different people, strengthen effective behavioral acts and abandon unsuitable ones. In the group, it becomes obvious which behavioral aspects cause acceptance in other people, a desire to get closer, to be close, and which ones cause rejection, a desire to step aside, to stop interaction. Born to be effective in a group, it is carefully nurtured on its safe ground and then carried over into everyday life.
Informative. Participants in group psychotherapy receive new information and recommendations. They get the opportunity to "test reality", to distinguish what exists in reality from what is contrived and illusory. Learning about problems and how others can solve them enriches the group member and broadens his cognitive framework. Cognitive factors reduce the degree of chaos in a person's ideas about their problems, anxiety also decreases and confidence in overcoming difficulties increases. There is a significant expansion of ideas about oneself, other people, the world and the options for life in it.
There is constant interaction, mutual influence and mutual support between the designated areas.
Awareness in the process of group therapy of their emotional failures, rigid behavioral patterns and a narrow cognitive corridor lead to emotional uplift, flexible behavioral response and cognitive spaciousness.
