Identify and explain four advantages of group counseling
1) Emotional support. Groups help clients feel as if they are not alone in dealing with their nutritional concerns. Sharing experiences with others who really know what it is like can provide a great deal of emotional support.
2) Group problem solving. Participants motivate each other to change as they share coping strategies and problem-solve together. Sharing supplies additional ideas and generates suggestions for finding solutions for over-coming obstacles to behavior change.
3) Modeling effect. Participants learn from each other by observing the accomplishments of others with similar problems. By observing and taking part in behavior changes of others who are experiencing similar problems, all group members are likely to feel hopeful for themselves.
4) Attitudinal and belief examples. As participants describe their attitudes and beliefs regarding health behavior challenges and perceived failures, other group members tend to reevaluate their own belief systems.
