Hello everyone,

How are you feeling?

Therapy can be a very important part of managing mental health, especially for those living with chronic illnesses. Some people find individual therapy helpful, as it offers private, one-on-one sessions with a therapist focused solely on their personal needs and goals. It gives room for a tailored approach and the comfort of discussing deeply personal topics. For others, group therapy offers its own benefits, like connecting with people who are going through similar experiences. Group sessions can create a sense of community, provide shared insights, and help people feel less alone. 🌱

What has been your experience? Do you go for individual sessions, or do you find group settings more helpful?

Hi, altho Wayy late replying. Individual or group therapy, I always like Individual. I've done both kinds, & have come to realize, group therapy does little for oneself. I think a time & place is valid for anyone. I much prefer 1 on 1.

Hello everyone,

when seeking support for mental health, some people feel more comfortable in individual therapy, while others find group therapy helpful in different ways.

Which do you prefer, individual or group therapy?
What feels more helpful or more comfortable for you?
And what has your experience been like so far?

Please feel free to share your experience with the other members. 💛

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

Since I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, my depression comes and goes. More so because I'm unable to leave the way I used to. Therefore, I've been to different therapy services from partials to individual counseling. I like both but individual counseling is long term. I'm looking for another therapist. Hopefully, music therapy.
