Positive Outcomes of Group Therapy: Universality

Clients may enter group therapy with the preconceived idea that they are alone with their problems and that others do not share similar difficulties. While this is true to some extent, the disconfirmation of their uniqueness may be a powerful sense of relief. That is, clients learn that they are universally similar to one another. It is assumed as clients begin to share and learn about each other’s’ similarities, they will become more trusting and open with each other. As group members begin to discuss their lives, commonalities in their life histories, issues and goals emerge. Even dissimilar people find that they hold the human condition in common. Seeing and validating others is powerful for all people involved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFto5Pgr8CM Nothing More - The Alternate Routes  To be humble, to be kind. It is the giving of the peace in your mind. To a stranger, to a friend To give in such a way that has no end. We are Love We are One We are how we treat each other when the day is done. We are Peace We are War We are how we treat each other and nothing more To be bold, to be brave. It is the thinking that the heart can still be saved And the darkness can come quick The dangers in the anger and the hanging on to it. We are Love We are One We are how we treat each other when the day is done. We are Peace We are War We are how we treat each other and nothing more Tell me what it is that you see A world that's filled with endless possibilities? Heroes don't look like they used to They look like you do. We are Love We are One We are how we treat each other when the day is done. We are Peace We are War We are how we treat each other and nothing more We are how we treat each other and nothing more We are how we treat each other Songwriters ERIC DONNELLY, TIMOTHY C WARREN To learn more about our Group Therapy and Support Group options click here.
