You Are Not Alone: The Healing Power of Group Therapy

Sometimes, the heaviest part of any struggle is the feeling that you are the only one going through it. You look around, and it seems like everyone else has it all figured out, while you’re navigating a difficult path all by yourself.

But chetta, chechi… what if I told you that just around the corner, there are others walking a similar path? What if you could sit with them, share your stories, and realise, in a profound and healing way, that you are truly not alone?

That is the magic of Group Therapy. ✨

Welcome to a different kind of healing space at OREYORU. It’s a space built on the simple, powerful truth that we heal better when we heal together.

So, What Exactly is Group Therapy? (It’s Not Just a Group Chat!)

Let’s be very clear. This is not just a casual get-together. A therapy group is a carefully curated, confidential, and safe space guided by a trained professional psychologist.

Think of it like this:

• It’s a small, closed group of individuals (usually 5-8 people) who share a common challenge.
• A qualified Counselling or Clinical Psychologist acts as a facilitator, ensuring the conversation is safe, respectful, and constructive.
• It is a space to both give and receive support. You learn not only from the therapist but also from the experiences and insights of your peers.

The most beautiful thing happens in these groups. When you share a piece of your story and someone else in the circle nods and says, “Ayyoo, I feel that too,” the burden you were carrying suddenly feels a little bit lighter. 🤝

The Unique Power of Healing Together

Why choose a group? While [Internal Link to Individual Psychotherapy page] one-on-one therapy is a powerful journey, group therapy offers something unique:

• You Realise You’re Not Alone: Hearing others share similar feelings can instantly dissolve feelings of isolation and shame.
• You Gain New Perspectives: Listening to how others navigate their challenges can give you fresh ideas and strategies for your own life.
• You Practice in a Safe Space: It’s a safe environment to practice communication, set boundaries, and build healthier relationship skills.
• It’s Incredibly Validating: Having your feelings understood and validated by a group of peers is a deeply affirming and confidence-boosting experience.

Is It Scary? What If I Don’t Want to Talk?

• You Share at Your Own Pace: There is never any pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. Sometimes, just listening can be incredibly healing.
