A Group for Men
Healing from Sexual Abuse

Level 2:    ongoing

 In affilliation with the Men's Center for Counseling and Psychotherapy

 


This ongoing group is for men who have already completed the 12-week Level 1 group I offer, or its equivalent.  This is both a support and a process group, which means that members use the group both to deal with their current life challenges and to explore how relationship issues re-surface between themselves and other group members.  While safety is still crucial, this group also focuses on growthful risk-taking, which involves increased disclosure, honesty, and exploration of member's experience within the group.

Concurrent individual therapy (or its ready availability) is required, depending upon how complete the experience of individual therapy has been.  This group is less structured than Level 1 and members set their own agendas and goals, and challenge one another more.
