What are some basic ground rules in group therapy?

Answer 1

Everything shared within the group is confidential - and not shared outside the group

What is shared DURING group time is not discussed outside of that meeting with group members

Expect to speak respectfully and be spoken to in a respectful manner -- no attacking

The therapist is the "guide" and moderator

Only one person speaks at a time

Everyone has the opportunity to speak, and may do so if they choose to respond

Answer 3

Ive been in group therapies for near 40 years. You get about as much out of the group as you put into it. Don't fall asleep and don't talk all the time, listen and learn. There are many different types of groups and the rules vary with the psychologist or social worker conducting the group. In general just be yourself and conduct yourself as you would in polite conversation. The matters discussed are usually confidential.
