Group Therapy
Young men at Blueprints For Recovery experience emotional support, understanding, and encouragement from one another in Group Therapy. One of the most important things is for the Clients to “show up” for themselves and for other clients. Attending group gives purpose to members’ lives; we develop a sense of responsibility to the group because our participation impacts other group members.
Group therapy is a foundation in healing most emotional and psychological struggles people experience: depression, anxiety, anger, fear, shame, etc. Individuals increase self-confidence through revealing their interior lives to others. Clients feel less alone in the group when understanding other people’s lives. And, understanding other people’s problems, goals, and solutions helps members better understands themselves. We can also experiment with different roles and ways of being in-group that inform and change our lives outside of group. Group therapy provides opportunities for transcending our life struggles through experiencing our common humanness with others.
