I prefer one to one therapy it's easier for me as I find it difficult to display emotions in front of people I don't know

I have found both 1 to 1 and group MH therapy useful. Individual therapy, has in the past, changed my way of thinking. Whereas group therapy has involved discussions in a safe, non judgemental way. What is said in the room, stays in the room. MH carries less of a stigma than it did, even just a few years ago.

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Hello everyone,
How are you feeling?
Therapy can be a very important part of managing mental health, especially for those living with chronic illnesses. Some people find individual therapy helpful, as it offers private, one-on-one sessions with a therapist focused solely on their personal needs and goals. It gives room for a tailored approach and the comfort of discussing deeply personal topics. For others, group therapy offers its own benefits, like connecting with people who are going through similar experiences. Group sessions can create a sense of community, provide shared insights, and help people feel less alone. 🌱
What has been your experience? Do you go for individual sessions, or do you find group settings more helpful?
