I'm really nervous about my first therapy group. How should I prepare?

It's completely normal to feel nervous! Preparing mentally can help. Consider reflecting on your goals for the group.

What kind of goals should I think about?

I think I want to learn coping strategies. Any tips on how to share in the group?

Start by sharing your feelings or experiences related to the topic. It's okay to be vulnerable; everyone is there to support each other.

Bringing a notebook can be helpful for jotting down thoughts or insights. Also, consider bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated!
