the full name is partial hospitalization, it’s 6 hours of group therapy five days a week with psychiatrist and individual therapist appointments. we have all sorts of groups like life skills, DBT / CBT, narrative therapy, mind and body, and so many other things it’s so beneficial. there’s also a step down which is IOP (intensive out patient) and it’s basically the same thing but no psychiatrist and it’s 3 hours a day for either 5 days or 3 days a week. outside of the therapy it’s honestly really nice to just be forced to be with people who understand what i’m going through because i have a huge tendency to isolate from people
