Men’s Sex Addiction Therapy Group- Riverside, CA

Men’s Sex Addiction Therapy Group is a recovery group for men struggling with sexually intrusive and compulsive behaviors looking to understand their system through their individualized road to recovery while gaining a support system. This group strives to promote a safe space for members to practice Transparency, Accountability and to process emotions of Shame, Guilt and Fear of Abandonment with their peers.

Through the course of 12-weeks, each individual strives to work towards their individualized therapeutic goals. Utilizing Dr. Patrick Carnes, Ph.D, Facing the Shadows Workbook and his 30-Task Model approach, we will be focusing on three primary areas:

‣ Behavioral Interventions and Relapse Prevention: Clients will receive Psychoeducation around Sex Addiction and gain an understanding of their Sex Addiction System/Cycles. Clients will gain tools and Behavioral Interventions to work towards recovery while developing a Relapse Prevention plan.

‣ Establishing Core Resiliency and Personal Development: Clients are guided in a safe space to understand, process and heal past trauma history utilizing a technique called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Clients work on re-routing their Internal Core Belief System of Fear of Abandonment and Shame through Core Resilience and Personal Development work.

‣ Forming Healthy Relationship Competencies: While clients continue to grow within their recovery, clients will gain communication tools to help navigate through conflict or conversations within a relationship, tools to identify and express emotional needs, tools to help understand and respect relational boundaries, and building different forms of intimacy.
