Men's Sexual Compulsivity Group
Tuesday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Many men have found themselves in the trap of sexual compulsivity. The toll of sexual addiction for the individual, spouse and family often leads to arguments, depression, separation, divorce, loss of income, and even legal problems. Most have tried to stop their damaging sexual behaviors, on their own, or through an untrained therapist, without success. Broken promises to themselves and their spouse is the norm. The shame of not being able to stop addictive sexual acting-out behaviors often leads the addict to blame their spouse, job and other situations for their behaviors.
Sexual addiction is painful. It’s difficult to admit to, let alone talk about with another. This often causes the addict to withdraw and isolate. Anger, depression and anxiety develop, and to relieve the pain the addict returns to acting out.
In the Men’s Sexual Compulsivity group, you’ll be with others who are caught in the same trap, mostly men who are bright and highly successful in their careers. You’ll be able to talk about your addiction without shame or ridicule, and gain the support and education necessary to overcome the addictive process.
In the Men's Sexual Compulsivity Recovery Group you’ll be given the tools to stop compulsive behavior and to begin the healing process under the guidance of a highly trained Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

Women's COSA Group
Every other Monday afternoon, 12:30 to 2:00 pm

A recovery group for women who have been affected by another's compulsive sexual behavior. In this group we learn to change our focus from what the sex addict should do to change, and to work on our own recovery process. We discover that many of our reactions to sexual addiction and the sex addict are not healthy, and that personal boundaries become blurred or even non-existent. In this group setting, women support each other in learning about recovery and our own issues to find the gift of serenity.
