Beyond Addiction: From Shadows to Strength
This group provides a supportive environment to help group members break free from addictive sexual behaviors and work towards personal growth. Together, we'll explore the underlying issues and learn to create more meaningful and balanced relationships. Group members focus on setting and reinforcing boundaries, expressing their feelings, needs, and desires clearly and confidently, and improving their self-esteem. The goal is to gain control over behaviors and develop a healthier sense of intimacy.
Using a humanistic approach, we explore healthy relationship dynamics, such as open communication, mutual intimacy, and enjoyable companionship. We incorporate insights from relevant literature to understand healthy sexual relationships and address how past experiences might affect current issues. Guided by the theme "In order to love myself, I must behave in ways that I admire," discussions focus on healing trust and relationship wounds. This group isn't a no-judgment zone; instead, group members hold each other accountable to the values they've chosen to live by. In this group, judgment is encouraged on whether actions with personal values. Judgment and criticism are not the same thing.

Group members are encouraged to actively increase verbal and physical affection with their partners, addressing any hesitations along the way. Whether you're seeking guidance, connection, or just a space to be heard, this group is here to support your journey toward recovery, better relationships, and personal growth.
