Groups for Mixed Topics

We learn the most about ourselves in our encounters with others.

Our behavioral therapy group provides a structured and supportive framework for people struggling with a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, mood disorders, burnout, relationship problems, self-esteem issues and social anxiety. This group is designed for people who want to learn practical tools and strategies to improve their mental health and live a more fulfilling life.

Group focus

Fears
Anxiety can have a major impact on daily life and reduce your sense of control over your life. In our group, participants learn to recognize the underlying patterns of their fears and develop strategies to deal with them. Using techniques such as cognitive restructuring and exposure exercises can reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.

Mood disorders
Mood disorders such as depression can put a strain on life and affect overall well-being. Our group focuses on promoting positive changes in thinking and behavior to manage mood swings and restore a sense of contentment and joy in life.

Burnout
Burnout can be the result of long-term stress and can affect both physical and mental health. In our group, participants receive support in managing burnout symptoms and learn stress management and self-care strategies to recharge their energy and find a healthy balance in life.

Relationship problems and social interactions
Relationship problems and difficulties in social interactions can have a significant impact on well-being. In our group, participants have the opportunity to discuss their interpersonal relationship challenges and learn new communication and conflict resolution strategies. Through role play, feedback and practical exercises, participants can improve their social skills and build supportive relationships.

Self-esteem issues
Self-esteem issues can significantly impact self-confidence and quality of life. In our group, participants have the opportunity to address their self-esteem issues and learn strategies to strengthen their self-esteem.

Social fears
Social anxiety can significantly impact self-confidence and the ability to interact in social situations. In our group we offer support and techniques to overcome social fears and promote a healthy self-image.

Why Mixed Topics is Beneficial: Mixed topics groups offer a variety of perspectives and experiences that can help participants from different backgrounds and with different issues learn from each other. The diversity of topics allows participants to realize that they are not alone and that many of their experiences are universal human challenges. Additionally, mixed topic groups allow for a broader exchange of coping strategies and techniques that can be applied to different problem areas.

Procedure and start of group therapy

1. Contact by e-mail

Interested parties can contact me by e-mail to express their wish to participate. Please briefly state your request and your telephone number. Send your enquiry to mail@psychotherapie-ploch.de

2. Short preliminary telephone conversation

After receiving your e-mail, I will contact you by telephone for a brief preliminary discussion. This will give you the opportunity to ask your questions and receive initial information about the process and content of the group therapy. At the same time, we will use this conversation to gain an initial impression of your individual needs and goals.

3. Personal one-to-one meeting with me

After the preliminary telephone consultation, we will arrange a personal one-to-one consultation with me. In this meeting, you will have the opportunity to describe your personal situation in more detail and clarify your therapy concerns. An initial diagnostic assessment will also be carried out to determine whether group therapy meets your individual needs.

4. Diagnostics and clarification of therapy needs

In further individual counselling sessions, a comprehensive diagnosis is carried out in order to better understand your specific psychological problems and needs. At the same time, your therapeutic concerns are clarified in order to determine the goals and focus of the treatment.

5. Trial session in the group

After the diagnosis and clarification of the therapy concerns, I will invite you to a trial session in the group. This trial session allows you to gain a first impression of the group dynamics, the content and the working style of the group. At the same time, the group members also have the opportunity to get to know you and adjust to you.

6. Application to the health insurance company

If you decide to take part in group therapy after the trial session, I will send an application to your health insurance company, as they have to authorise the therapy, which they usually always do. The costs for group therapy are covered by statutory health insurance.
