  • Q: What if I feel nervous due to not knowing anyone?
    • A: It is perfectly normal to feel nervous prior to your first group therapy session as you are stepping into something new and unfamiliar!

It is common for those nerves to fade after you meet your group members and you gain a better idea of what to expect each week.
