Thursdays 3:30 to 5:30 pm Starting June 9th, 2022

This is not a processing, accountability, coaching, support, or talk therapy group. Although all of those things will happen within group, this group is experiential in nature. Experiential therapy is where our emotional state is not just talked about but put into motion. In group you will actually experience your emotions and be able to feel, challenge, move through, and regulate them in the safety and support of group. This group is also focused on the underlying emotional wounds (trauma) that is the source of the unwanted compulsive behavior. Not just strategies to try to control and manage the behavior, but truly set you free. This group is open to all men ages 15-25 no matter relationship status, religious background or belief, or sexual identity.

What will happen in this group:

  • Create support with other men in a confidential community.

  • Support and receive support within the group on recovery.

  • Learn recovery tools and resources to put into action.

  • Understand where these behaviors started and root emotional issues.

  • Understand shame and create shame resilience.

  • Work on related trauma connected to the addiction behavior and shame.

  • Restore self-confidence, sense of self, and freedom.

“Warrior group really connected me on an emotional and spiritual level I had never experienced. To be with guys my age, similar to me, talking about real stuff was life-changing. I had thought I was alone for the longest time.”

- Jarrett E.
