sounds to me like your T knows what they're doing, then.
sometimes group can be a good place to start getting comfortable with the PROCESS of therapy. If you were cutting MORE during individual therapy, maybe your therapist wanted you to experience group to achieve a "therapy comfort level", so that when you begin again with your T it won't stress you out to the point of cutting.
Go through the process. When you start talking out about what YOU need often during group- and not just offering support to everyone else- you'll be ready to get something valuable for yourself out of your T.
It helped me out a lot in that way. In fact, I think you've just talked me into finding my way into a group setting again, as I've hit a plateau with my individual T and don't know what I want/expect from her anymore.
So thank you,
