Research from around the world continues to back-up group therapy effectiveness and give insight into why it works.\n\nWe have also been at the forefront of bold new approaches to group therapy which make it even more accessible to Canadians during the pandemic or those who live in remote regions.\n\nHere we explore the who, how, why and where of EHN Canada\u2019s group therapy treatment.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n<h2>Who group therapy can help treat<\/h2>\nAt EHN Canada, we use group therapy to treat an array of substance and process addictions and mental health disorders. This can benefit patients struggling with:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Alcohol addiction<\/li>\n \t<li>Drug and prescription medication addiction<\/li>\n \t<li>Depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders<\/li>\n \t<li>Sex and love addiction<\/li>\n \t<li>Gambling addiction<\/li>\n \t<li>Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Operational Stress Injury<\/li>\n \t<li>Obsessive Compulsive Disorder<\/li>\n \t<li>Eating Disorders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How group therapy sessions work<\/h2>\nWhat you\u2019ve seen is not far off from the reality. Groups of up to 12 participants are led by a therapist throughout the session. If there are more than 12 people, there is often an additional therapist to help facilitate the group.\n\nA session can last from one to three hours, depending on the number of patients. And they usually occur at least once per week, more frequently to focus on multiple skills and topics, and are used in addition to a patient\u2019s one-on-one therapy sessions.\n\nDuring the group, a therapist will lead the conversation, exploring participants\u2019 experiences and trauma associated with their addiction or mental health.\n\nThere are 5 different models of group therapy used to treat substance addiction with various focuses:\n\n<strong>Psychoeducational Groups: <\/strong>teaching about substance abuse\n<strong>Skills Development Groups:<\/strong> honing the skills necessary to break free of addictions\n<strong>Cognitive\u2013Behavioral Groups: <\/strong>rearranging patterns of thinking and action that lead to addiction\n<strong>Support Groups: <\/strong>debunking each other\u2019s excuses and support constructive change\n<strong>Interpersonal Process Groups: <\/strong>enabling clients to recreate their pasts and rethink the problems that led them to addictive substances<sup>[1]<\/sup>\n\nAdditional group exercises may include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Educational lectures, workshops, or outings<\/li>\n \t<li>Cultural or social outings or activities, including galleries, live music events and other performances<\/li>\n \t<li>Creative and expressive exercises including painting & drawing, writing, acting, and dance<\/li>\n \t<li>Wellness therapies such as yoga, Pilates, or acupuncture<\/li>\n \t<li>And peer support or self-help sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why group therapy works<\/h2>\nGroup therapy alone may not rid a patient of their addiction or mental health disorder. But in combination with individual treatment, it can offer some positive results that change a patient\u2019s outlook and offer the support needed to recover long-term.\n\nHere are 5 reasons why group therapy is so powerful:\n<h3>1. Group Therapy Is Cathartic<\/h3>\nOne way to release emotional pain is to talk about and process difficult emotions and experiences with others; specifically, learning to express emotion to others in a healthy way can have lasting positive psychological and physical health benefits.\n<h3>2. Group Therapy Gives Hope<\/h3>\nWhen a patient is stuck in life or hopeless about the possibility of successful treatment and recovery, one of the most powerful therapeutic processes is witnessing change in other peers in recovery. Seeing other people with similar issues make significant shifts or make positive changes in behaviour, promotes hope for the future and allows others to be open to the possibility that they also might change.\n<h3>3. Group Therapy Shows the Universality of Experience<\/h3>\nOnce a patient\u2019s experience is validated and accepted and they hear other group members disclose experiences or problems similar to their own, patients often feel a greater sense of closeness to others and the world around them. Closeness to others shatters the self-destructive behaviour of isolation and becomes an asset in a person\u2019s ongoing recovery. It turns out that the clich\u00e9, \u201cwe\u2019re all in the same boat,\u201d packs a heavy therapeutic punch.\n<h3>4. Group Therapy Fosters Belongingness<\/h3>\nEven in relationships with families, friends, co-workers, or classmates, many addicts entering treatment have struggled with feeling a sense of true unconditional love or belongingness within a group context. Group therapy acts as a powerful corrective experience, providing disconfirming evidence to disarm negative core beliefs by providing a space for connection and belongingness.\n<h3>5. Group Therapy Creates a Space for Interpersonal Learning<\/h3>\nAddiction creates a world of isolation, chaos, and disconnection. Group therapy, however, offers a supportive space to learn how to communicate in a healthy manner, resolve conflicts, and speak vulnerably about emotion without the fear of judgement.\u00a0For some individuals, this may be the first time in their lives that they have shared their emotions and experiences honestly with peers.\n\n(Read more about how group therapy can be so powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgewoodhealthnetwork.com\/blog\/5-reasons-group-therapy-is-so-powerful\/\">here<\/a>.)\n<h2>What does the research say?<\/h2>\nWhile there is plenty of on-the-ground, qualitative evidence, there is also quantitative evidence that supports group therapy\u2019s effectiveness. A recent systematic review of 902 publications and 30 studies found that:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Mindfulness-based interventions appear to be as effective as existing evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders at reducing the frequency and quantity of alcohol and drug use, substance-related problems, craving for substance use, and at increasing the rate of abstinence<\/li>\n \t<li>There are positive results in patients with concurrent depression and anxiety, and a decrease in psychiatric distress<\/li>\n \t<li>Participants display more control of stressful situations that may have previously led to their substance use<sup>[2]<\/sup><a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where can group therapy take place?<\/h2>\nWhile group therapy sessions were once limited to facilities or informal settings, technology has changed that.\n\nFor those living in rural parts of the country, attending group therapy sessions each week is not always an option. And others, who have commitments to family or careers, cannot take the time required for intensive in-person treatment. We are also living through a once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully) pandemic, which is making it impossible or risky for groups of people to gather.\n\nSo how is group therapy possible with these barriers? EHN Canada has been expanding our unique <strong>Virtual Intensive Therapy Programs<\/strong> to provide patients with comprehensive online treatment from wherever they are.\n\nThis virtual, in-home\u00a0option is available to those struggling with\u00a0depression, anxiety, substance addiction, behavioural addictions, and workplace trauma. And it offers a combination of individual and group therapy sessions through EHN Online (Powered by Wagon).\n\nOur Virtual Intensive Therapy Program offers:\n<ul>\n \t<li>8 weeks of therapy, including 8 hours of virtual group sessions and 1 hour of individual counselling per week<\/li>\n \t<li>10 months of online aftercare to stay on track<\/li>\n \t<li>The Wagon app to\u00a0help set goals, track progress, and monitor triggers<\/li>\n \t<li>Access to a team of strong clinical experts, specifically trained in online counselling<\/li>\n \t<li>And the flexibility and convenience of therapy from the comfort of home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>But is online therapy as effective?<\/h2>\nWhile internet-based therapy is a rather new offering, there is already strong evidence that it is just as\u2014or even more\u2014effective than in-person options.\n\nA trial in the Journal of Effective Disorders found that \u201cinternet-based intervention for depression is equally beneficial to regular face-to-face therapy. However, more long-term efficacy, indicated by continued symptom reduction three months after treatment, could be only be found for the online group.\"<sup>[3]<\/sup><a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\"><\/a>\n\nThe Cureus Journal of Medical Medicine\u2019s study \u201cshowed that [Internet-based] CBT is effective in the treatment and management of various psychiatric disorders such as depression, GAD and social anxiety, panic disorders, phobias, addiction and substance use disorders, adjustment disorder, bipolar disorder, and OCD.\"<sup>[4]<\/sup><a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\"><\/a>\n\nAnd even smartphone-based options, like the one <a href=\"https:\/\/onthewagon.ca\/programs\/\">we offer through our Wagon App<\/a>, already have the support of many medical researchers.

Skinner and J.B. Watson), CBT emerged during the 1960s through studies by Dr. Aaron Beck. While working with patients suffering from major depression, Dr. Beck discovered that their depressed mood arose largely from the illogically negative way they viewed themselves and reality. Deeming these spontaneous, negative thought patterns as \"automatic thoughts,\" Beck endeavored to teach patients that how they perceived themselves and the world actually had no basis in reality. Since then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3584580\/\">hundreds of studies have proved<\/a> that CBT is a highly effective treatment for mental illness and addiction.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy used to treat addiction, mental illness, behavioural disorders, and personality disorders.
