Group Therapy For People With Anxiety and Depression

CBT Group Therapy

Elements of CBT Group Therapy

In this CBT Group for Anxiety and Depression, participants learn strategies and techniques to cope with depressive thoughts, worries, and rumination. The goal of this group is to help individuals become aware of their depressive or anxious thought patterns and behaviours. In each session, participants learn specific skills to help themselves feel better, cope with, and manage their difficulties and decrease the risk of future relapse. Through this short-term treatment approach, participants are supported and encouraged by the therapist and peers.

Participants of this CBT Group for Anxiety and Depression will learn how to:

  • Challenge and Stop Negative Thoughts – To recognize distorted thinking and respond to your thoughts in a different way that does not lead to anxiety or depression
  • Proven strategies – To challenge your negative thoughts and stop ruminating
  • Develop new healthy core beliefs and behaviours – How to engage in behaviours that are consistent with your values
  • Change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new ways of thinking
  • Create behavioural experiments to overcome anxious or depressive beliefs
  • Prepare Action Plans to solve daily difficulties
  • Question their own negative core beliefs, (chronic and deep-rooted thinking and behavioural patterns) such as “I am inadequate” or ”Nobody likes me”

Benefits of Group Therapy

There are various benefits of attending a therapy group. These include:

  • Having the support of others with similar difficulties
  • Start Feeling Better – How to feel better and take positive actions
  • Receiving psycho-education about the mental illness and how to manage it
