~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. Facilitators: Dan Crockett, MS, LMHC

Based on the Recovery Zone Starter Kit by Patrick Carnes

Internet porn and online chat
Affairs
Pornography addiction
Compulsive masturbation

More The goal of Recovery Zone group therapy is to help group members achieve sobriety, remain accountable, and develop helpful skills to remain free from addiction. • The Recovery Zone Starter Kit Group is an on-going weekly therapeutic group using the 30-Task treatment developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes. Participants will find support, serenity, therapy, and a well-defined strategy for recovery using a systematic approach.
• Groups are designed to help each individual gain skills, confidence, and sobriety in their personal, family, spiritual, and work life.
• One of the best and proven ways of getting healthy is in the context of other people. You will find safety and hope in this group setting.
• The group is led by highly trained therapists who create a safe and yet challenging place for members to get their life back.
• In conjunction with the Recovery Zone Starter Kit, the Facing the Shadows Workbook is also utilized. Facing the Shadows Workbook, Second Edition, takes techniques used by thousands of people recovering from sexual addiction and shows, step by step, how to break free of this disease and live a healthier, more fulfilling life. There will be homework assignments each week. It also adds timely material on cybersex and new science about arousal. Facing the Shadow teaches why denial is so powerful and what can be done to break through it; how to face the consequences of behaviors using recovery principles; how to respond to change and crisis due to addiction; how to manage life without dysfunctional behavior; how spirituality affects recovery; how sex addiction starts; and what an addict needs to know. The material is very structured and clients report learning things about themselves that they haven’t learned before. Facilitator: Abbe Barclay, MSW
