While Zorba is a private and exclusive resident program, the need for sharing and exchanging thoughts with a larger audience sometimes helps relieve a lot of emotional negativity. Depending on the patient’s psychological diagnosis and CBT report, a patient may be suggested to attend some group therapy sessions. Mind you, it is not compulsory as it all depends on willingness and readiness of the patient.
In a group therapy session, a handful of people sit and share. They have been people who have afflicted by a similar disorder. At group sessions, our therapist plays a very important role. The therapist observes and documents his findings during the group session. The observations help us further fine tune our overall recovery program for the client.
Benefits:
- Exposure to people from the same background. How bad were they? How they succeeded?
- Support and encouragement from the members.
- Eliminates loneliness and the sense of self-pity.
- Identifies role models for the patient. The hope of recovery becomes stronger.
- Measures response of the patient in a less closed environment and helps us better the treatment plan.
