This group focuses on understanding the effects of childhood sexual abuse; how each man has learned to survive and how past survival strategies may not be working like they once did. Group members will explore new and more effective coping strategies for living authentically and with a greater sense of balance and peace.
Topics establishing safety individually and in the context of relationships; negotiating boundaries; effectively dealing with anger/loss/rage; managing addictive and/or compulsive behaviors; learning to identify and manage anxiety; understanding how being a survivor may affect one’s sexuality; and incorporating or re-incorporating a sense of spirituality into daily life.
This group is co-led with Rob Williams, LCSW, CGP at his Dupont Circle office.
Group Size & Duration: This is a closed group (starts and ends with the same 5-6 men) and includes 12 sessions.
Thursdays, 7:30 - 8:45pm January 12, 19 & 26 February 2, 9, 16 & 23 March 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29
