1. Therapy builds confidence:
Often people enter therapy with a feeling of being alone in their struggle. For instance, feeling that you are the only person that is struggling with negative thoughts. Group therapy helps people build strong connections and relationships. You are able to acknowledge that you are not alone and in a constructive space where you are supported. Over time self-confidence begins to improve.
2. Building healthy boundaries with therapy
I like to think about boundaries as the fence to your yard and what you decide to let in. Often people struggle with saying no and building healthy relationships. Counseling helps kids and teens because it teaches them how to implement boundaries in their life. Sessions focus on providing clear examples of what boundaries are and how to implement them in your life. With boundaries, the therapy teaches individuals how to manage emotions in a manner that connects to respecting personal needs, being respectful of personal needs, learning what empathy is and how to utilize it in life.
