Monday, October 21st, 2024
6:00PM EST – 7:30PM EST
The Foundations Group is a 16-Week online Psycho-Educational Group, utilizing Facing the Shadow Workbook by Patrick Carnes which provides a reflective process to help clients better understand their compulsive behaviors and fantasies, how it distorts reality, and enables living in denial and compartmentalization. The curriculum is designed to create a solid foundation for successful long-term recovery for those dealing with sexually compulsive behaviors.
Ideal Candidates for The Foundations Group are those new to recovery, as well as those who struggle with slips and relapses.
During this Foundations Group, members will:
- Identify the distorted thought patterns and beliefs that block healing and connection with one’s core self.
- Map out the pattern/cycle of compulsive sexual behaviors and learn how and when to intervene to rescue themselves out of the cycle.
- Define sexual sobriety for themselves and create an effective relapse prevention plan.
- Explore the changes in brain chemistry that drive craving, withdrawal and relapse and learn how to intervene.
- Explore your arousal template to understand the significance of the sexual behaviors as they relate to your deeper emotional and attachment-based needs.
- Learn how to create and utilize relationships to build a community of support for your recovery.
Client testimonials
"The short-term men’s group focused on helping men better understand partner trauma was eye opening since I got to hear the ramifications and experience of my actions on my wife through another woman's voice. It was not just informative but my other senses like hearing and seeing were open for me to experience the information and not just process it intellectually. I felt through the many points raised by Jennifer. I did not have defenses that I would otherwise have when told by my wife or even through couple's therapy. That together with a supportive group allowed for a certain leap in my recovery that I have struggled to achieve. My recovery has mostly been focused on myself and had lacked intention of having others on my mind."

"This short-term men’s workgroup is a master class designed to help us understand the gravity of the trauma we have caused to our partners by betrayal and provide us with a deeper understanding of what they are going through. It has helped my wife and I immensely on our journey to recovery and rebuilding trust."
