Group or One on One Counseling?

Post by JAC3 »

I was thinking about going to therapy again, it used to help me a lot for my depression
but I'm not sure if I can afford therapy now and I hear most support groups are free
I liked being able to talk to someone one on one, I'm not very comfortable with the idea being in a group setting

What's your experience with one or the other?
Which do you prefer or find to be more helpful?

My experience is limited, so if you decide to go with group therapy, I would love if you would post about the experience, what you liked and what you didn't like.

All the best, cheers! :D
