i found a DBT skills class with a peer-led group-discussion element for spouses of people with significant mental health issues, and surprisingly it’s been super helpful. i never did group therapy before, but for something like this that is very difficult and specific, it’s been so much more meaningful and relevant to me to share advice and experiences with other people in a similar situation, rather than to just hear what a therapist thinks.

just wanted to say that here in case an opportunity like that comes up for somebody else and you’re skeptical of group therapy but haven’t ever tried it. it might be good actually.
