Men’s Support Group

For Sex and Porn Addiction

This virtual group is designed for men (18 years and older) needing a support group focused on developing a thriving recovery from sexual addiction and other intimacy disorders.

This is a “quick start” to recovery! Group members will gain understanding in topics such as the addictive system, relapse prevention, and healthy intimacy and sexuality.

This therapist-facilitated group will take place in a safe, supportive environment conducive to

  • practicing healthy transparency and vulnerability

  • setting boundaries

  • and giving and receiving support

This is an issue-driven model even though the workbook curriculum is clinical and stems from a model-driven approach to ensure each client’s unique situation is addressed. All of this is built on the foundation of Christian Intimacy Theory; every person has been created by God, and in the image of God, to love and be loved at a core-to-core level of intimacy.

Addiction is an intimacy disorder according to Dr. Patrick Carnes and other research. People who have deep, quality, rich relationships, in other words, core-to-core intimacy are not relapsing in their addictions.
