New Beginnings is a treatment program for males who have recognized their need for assistance in gaining control of their sexual behaviours. After an initial assessment and a few individual sessions, clients who meet the eligibility criteria are able to participate in the group. Group therapy has been proven to be the most effective method of treatment for sexual addiction. (Click here to learn more about sexual addiction). Although the idea of sharing your darkest and deepest secrets in such a setting can seem like a daunting task, group members report feeling accepted, relieved, and hopeful almost immediately. In addition to the healing and recovery which is greatly enhanced by this type of therapy, the group is also a much more affordable method of treatment than continuing strictly with individual sessions.
The group meets for 1 hour and 45 minutes, once a week. Group sizes are kept small to allow all group members to derive the maximum benefits possible. Once a client has transitioned to the group therapy, individual sessions are offered on an as-needed basis.
Incorporated in the treatment program will be the utilization of the workbooks Facing the Shadow and Recovery Zone by Dr. Patrick Carnes. Dr. Carnes is accepted as the international leader in the field of sexual addiction, and you can greatly benefit from his recovery program.
