This group offers a safe, confidential setting for members to support each other in healing from intimacy disorders—a solution-oriented term for sex addiction.
Chris Eversole, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counselor, facilitates group therapy sessions, which are based on workbooks written by Dr. Patrick Carnes, the leading sex addiction treatment expert.
The group recognizes that openness and honesty about current and past problematic sexual behavior are essential to changing your behavior. But that is only the starting point.
The key to recovery from intimacy disorders is a change in lifestyle based on a healthy approach to intimacy. This involves seeing intimacy as more than physical intimacy. The 12 forms of healthy intimacy include emotional intimacy (being tuned into each other’s wavelength), creative intimacy (sharing the act of creating together) and communication intimacy (the source of all types of true intimacy).
Even conflict intimacy is essential. As a couple, we need to face and struggle with differences. If we don’t, the conflicts go underground and eventually emerge dysfunctionally.
The group is open to both men who are new to intimacy disorder recovery and to those who have a history with this work. Call today to learn more or sign up 405-888-9990.
