Thanks to Procompare we found an excellent group therapist in no time! Really helpful and everything was ok - the therapist, price, nothing negative really.
Our therapist was excellent, can highly recommend! We used this site to find out cleaning lady as well so we knew what to expect and we were not disappointed!
If you are looking for a therapist, I can recommend this website! I had my doubts before trying, but my friend had a positive experience so she convinced me to try myself and she was right - in 2 days, 4 therapists gave me a call, all of them seemed good but I especially liked the style of 1 of the so the decision was basically a no brainer.
Group therapy in South Africa is a psychotherapeutic approach where one or more therapists lead a group of 5–12 participants. Sessions usually run for a few hours each week and can be set for a fixed number of weeks or continue over a year. This form of therapy, which became popular after World War II due to the high demand for mental health services, remains an efficient and cost-effective treatment option widely used today. Group therapy is often integrated into comprehensive treatment plans alongside individual therapy sessions, medication, and other care types to address a broad range of mental health disorders.
There are various group therapy treatments, including Psychotherapy Groups, Cognitive Therapy Groups, Modified Dynamic Group Therapy, Relapse Prevention Groups, Mutual Self-Help Groups, and Network Therapy. The selection of a specific type of group therapy depends on the participants' needs and the treatment goals. Specialized group therapies are also available to support specific patient populations, such as adolescents, LGBTQ+ community members, and the elderly, ensuring that therapy techniques are adapted to best meet group members' needs and treatment objectives.
Group therapy offers multiple benefits, including being more cost-effective than individual therapy. It provides a safe environment where participants can share experiences and offer support to each other. Additionally, group therapy fosters new insights, serves as a platform for role modeling positive behaviors, helps individuals find their voice, and improves interpersonal skills. The communal aspect of group therapy significantly impacts mental health by providing a sense of belonging and community. Research indicates that people in group therapy improve not only through therapist interventions but also from interacting with other group members, with some studies suggesting that group psychotherapy can produce stronger and longer-lasting results for many people compared to individual psychotherapy.
This is for my nephew. He suffered loss of all his family members in his development years (between age 9 to 12 years). His mother (my cousin) passing in , his only sibling in and his grandmother (my aunt) in . The family then sent him to stay with an abusive aunt, thereafter. My nephew's current behavior indicates some age regression or being stuck in a certain age. He is grown, now 28 years but he behaves like a child. Can't think for himself, self sabotages, not wanting to do anything with his life despite thousand opportunities we give him. Has no direction in life and is not bothered by anything. He sees himself as a child. Not sure if his brain stopped developing after he lost everyone he was close to in a short space of time. But his development seems like it got distorted somewhere in the time line.

Hello, I am a 26 year old male who is seeking a therapist who can offer support with addiction - more specifically I smoke cigarettes, weed and recently started frequently drinking alcohol. My main challenges are social anxiety, relationships and self belief. While I do thrive in certain elements of my life such as education and career, I am lacking on the personal side; family, friendship and maybe love. This is an area that I want to improve and I know it will bring me contentment but I'm struggling to let go of the past or perhaps my former. This is all very complicated for me and was hoping to speak with someone who has experience helping people like myself. Best of luck :) Regards

Evening I need help. I don't know how to express myself. I keep on hurting my ex girlfriend emotionally. I don't know why. And she's "got" someone else and it hurts me. I feel depressed. I can't eat. It's like I'm repeating her emotions that I gave her when we were dating. We have a child together. And she can feel all the emotions whenever something happens between us. And I keep on hurting her when I have indulged in alcohol, and alcohol I wish to stop drinking as well. Help me.
