I'm in group and individual therapy. Group provides a totally different kind of experience. For me, telling about sa is still next to impossible, so group is a safe place to practice being OK with my own history. I also hear other people's stuff and practice dealing with triggers. I have a female therapist as a group leader and a male individual therapist. They have different styles and elicit different things from me.
I think it can be helpful. It can also be a struggle. I think it sort of depends what irritates you and if you need to practice coping with those feelings. I definately wouldn't do it without talking to your current therapist.
