I’m probably risking a self-jinx) event at this point in time, so I will preface this introduction by saying …

I recently had a chance to experience sessions of group therapy and found it to be amazingly beneficial for myself and those that attended with me. I think that even without assistance and input from a Therapist directing, just being able to have a "safe-zone" to "LET IT ALL OUT!" has healing power.
