No. These are structured learning and practice sessions, not group psychotherapy. There is no pressure to process personal material or share your history. The focus is on guided somatic practices, nervous system education, and working alongside others, not on group discussion or emotional processing in a clinical therapeutic sense.

Individual sessions are tailored entirely to your system and what you're bringing that week. Group sessions offer something different: the experience of practicing alongside others, which adds a layer of co-regulation that individual work can't replicate. Many people do both. Group work is also a lower-intensity entry point for people who are new to somatic work.

Yes. Group sessions are designed to complement other therapeutic work, not replace it. Many participants are already working with a therapist or in individual somatic sessions. It is worth letting your therapist know you're joining, particularly if you're working with complex trauma.
