Want to Smoothen Your Working Relationship With Others? How about group psychotherapy?

As human beings and social creatures, a good relationship with work colleagues is crucial for mental health and increased productivity. A tool commonly used to smoothen working relationship is psychotherapy. It is aimed at improving an individual’s well being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviours, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts or emotions and to improve relationships and social skills.

There are unique approaches to psychotherapy. BetterHelp.com provides insights into the different approaches employed in psychotherapy. If you ever find yourself in the corporate world, or you are having a hard time with co-workers, then you should try out group psychotherapy. With that being said, what should you know about group psychotherapy?

  • Going for Therapy? No! Not alone!

Group psychotherapy allows a small-to-medium group of individuals to meet and have upbuilding discussions with the therapist as a facilitator. Members of the working class would find that they can mingle with others at their own will.

  • It doesn’t have to feel like therapy

Maybe the idea of therapy would make you cringe! That’s understandable. With group therapy, you don’t get to feel coerced to talk. Being forced to speak when you don’t want to could be a pretty much awkward situation. It is a great feeling to just listen if you don’t feel like talking. However, speaking up would provide an opportunity to understand your situation and receive useful feedback on how to improve your relationship at work!

  • Therapy is based on trust and support

If you get to feel that no one at work understands you, group therapy provides the platform to build a trusting, supportive and therapeutic relationship between clients, therapists and other members of the group. It provides an avenue for you to voice out your concerns, express your emotions and get a listening ear. True, group members may start as strangers, but over time participant’s altruism and compassion may be developed. So just take the step, join a group and it may be one of the best decisions you will ever make.

  • Restoration of Morale

You may be experiencing job burnout, or be suffering repeated failures, or feel helpless. You may need to boost your morale and renew your zeal. The therapy can help you achieve just this.

  • Group Psychotherapists are professional

Group therapists have specialized training, evidenced-based strategies and expert guidelines that can help you deal with shyness, substances abuse, insecurity about looks, or whatever it is that hampers your performance at work. Information is expressed as clearly as possible, repeatedly and perhaps even written so it sinks well in.

Amidst these pros, understand that group psychotherapy has cons. Before joining any group, research! Find out the number of people in the group; how alike the members’ problems are; and the frequency and duration of each session. After all, you don’t want a repeat of a conflicting work setting. A safe space would help to sharpen your social skills or overcome a particular work-related problem.
