Looking for experiences with IOP - April 11th 2021, 09:40 PM

My prescriber recommended Intensive Outpatient Therapy (IOP) for me and I'm going for my intake Tuesday to see if I'm a good fit. It's all group therapy. Just looking for other people's experiences, positive and negative.

Re: Looking for experiences with IOP - April 12th 2021, 07:01 PM

I've been in many, many IOPs over the course of my life. Some experiences were good, some not so great. I have found that the most important things to ensure having a good experience are having good rapport with the facilitator, being open/willing to learn about the material, and being open/willing to give and receive feedback. It may be intimidating at first, especially because it's something you've never tried before, but within a couple of sessions you'll get the hang of it and things will be easier from then on out.

Good luck. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to PM me. Take care!

Hello Dez,

I hope everything went well for you with this. When we are trying something new sometimes it can be hard because we are not sure how this is going to go for us and we can be scared to talk with other people. You can start slowly and then try more and more when you feel comfortable. I have never done this before. If I was going to go I would have on my favorite outfit or bracelet or necklace or shoes to help calm me down so that I would feel ok. Maybe you can try one of them. I wish you the best with this. Sending you to help you when you are going.
