Our cognitive behavioural
therapy groups are an effective alternative
to one-on-one treatment program. Group
sessions are 2 hours long and are
held once per week for 16 weeks. In
addition to providing a supportive
setting to discuss and learn about
anxiety disorders, the groups involve:
therapist accompanied exposure tasks,
exposure to anxiety symptoms, training
on cognitive restructuring techniques,
and the designation of individual
homework tasks and long term goals.
Although the treatment occurs within
a cohesive group framework, we emphasize
that each member assumes responsibility
for his or her treatment by working
regularly and independently when outside
of the group (i.e. homework). Ultimately,
it is our goal to eliminate anxiety
problems and equip the patient with
the skills necessary to prevent/minimize
relapse in the future.
