This 5-day group experiential workshop isn’t only about understanding the roots of your past. It’s about making sense of why the behavioral pathways created in that past may be holding you back from having healthy relationships - with others, as well as with yourself. This workshop, adapted from our signature UK Family of Origin intensive, provides a safe, expertly guided space specifically for those in stable recovery from sex addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors.
Each day will incorporate both individual and group work, using a collaborative and exploratory approach that will support you in better uncovering how your early experiences have shaped unconscious strategies that once protected you—but may now keep you stuck. With care and integrity, we'll help you reconnect with the parts of your story that need caring attention, healing repair, and grace.
Offering much more than psycho-education, you will be invited to work with your story in experiential ways, including somatic and other integrative interventions designed to guide you in cultivating a deeper connection to your authentic self. This work, completed in a group setting has the potential to be transformative in a deep, and practical way.
In summary, you’ll gain clarity on:
- How your early life experiences shaped your emotional world
- The coping strategies you developed to feel safe and secure—and how they may be limiting you now
- The relational impact of your story, in the context of marriage, partnership, and recovery from addiction
The primary model for this workshop is Post Induction Therapy, founded by Pia Mellody and used by some of the most famous treatment centres in the world such as The Meadows and The Priory. Our team was trained in this and related models by Dr Jake Porter and Delphi Medina of Daring Ventures, as well as Jan Bergstrom, LMHC of HOCII.
Each day will begin at approximately 9:00am and will end no later than 6:00pm, with appropriate breaks throughout the day.
Note: Start and End times will be determined by the practitioners, during the intensive, as suitable for the group’s needs.
Places are limited to 6 and will be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis.
