Online Porn and Sex Addiction Accountability and Process Group:
Our online porn and sex addiction accountability and process groups are for those who want to enhance their recovery experience either in place of or to augment individual recovery or traditional 12 Step Groups. Research suggests group therapy is equal to or more effective than individual therapy in improving mental health symptoms. Group therapy is known to be successful in addiction recovery and especially sex addiction.
Rob Terry, sex addiction therapist (CSAT-C), leads the group combining his personal recovery insights and best practices from published research and professional experience.
We combine approaches from many sex addiction frameworks such as the abstinence-based Patrick Carnes sex addiction CSAT model, the values-based Douglas Braun-Harvey CST Out-Of-Control-Sexual-Behavior model, Bill Herring’s Problematic Sexual Behavior model, and Omar Minwalla’s Integrity Abuse Disorder model that explores narcissism.
The goal of the group is to offer a comprehensive approach to address attachment security, emotion regulation, internalized shame, self-compassion, self-development, and mutual support.
Key Features of the Group:
- Limited to 8 members — reserve your spot now
- Long-term group format for sustained progress
