I think about this a lot, really. I feel like our basic model of therapy is entirely wrong, and treating it as a thing that individuals can do to fix themselves both ignores most of its benefits and limits the ability of the individual to actually change.https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1300736048432140291 …

Most therapy should be group therapy with friends.

My only hesitation here is that I don’t handle other people’s trauma well. I did a group therapy/bible study thing once for women healing from sexual trauma years ago and I still have nightmares from the stories I heard in the one session I attended

Yeah I think group therapy where you're unpacking major trauma in front of each other is hard mode - I was thinking more for things centred on the specific ways people relate to each other within the group.

(I have no experience with group therapy for trauma - I expect it's very good for some people and dreadful for others)

on whether therapy helps at the individual level at all - I think it's much more useful to have a whole bunch of therapy skills in the water in a community than therapy is for individuals themselves.
