Group therapy

Has anyone else benefited from group sessions for ptsd, anxiety?

I was in group therapy years ago for depression/anxiety. It was one of the best years I spent in my life. I had one on one therapy, my therapist asked me to go into group, I was nervous and quiet the first few times, then I got into it...Wow!!! It helped change my life for the better. I say go for it. I send you courage, strength, love and Big hugs.......

I have done a lot of group therapy and although it's difficult at the beginning it can be very powerful if properly conducted, so that the energy is kept positive and uplifting. I would really recommend it. And I know you didn't ask but I would also really recommend against marijuana, especially if you suffer anxiety. Marijuana is what started lifelong anxiety for a lot of us sufferers.

I did enjoy the group session and I plan on going again next week, idk where I stand as far as the thc stuff, I know I stopped lorazepam because it didn't work when I was having my worst symptoms and the drs in the hospital saw that it didn't work when I was in there even a larger dose wasn't stopping the cycle

Can I ask you what is the cause of your ptsd/anxiety?? I attended a great program that helped with my PTSD/Anxiety....it is called the battle within. it is designed for veterans and 1st responders and it helped tremendously
