This group is for individuals who grew up in families with addiction or dysfunction. The group focuses on helping members gain insight into ways their growing up years negatively affected relationships and choices later in life. We use a combination of psycho-education by briefly reading from various materials, including the Big Red Book of ACOA, the Laundry List and the Inner Parent Loving Guidebook. Members also share ways in which they see ACOA traits showing up in their own lives today and explore ways to change maladaptive behaviors and responses to stressors.

If you are struggling in a relationship, this is a group for men who listen to each other and give supportive feedback to help each member make needed changes in themselves. Sometimes, individuals get into romantic relationships where they feel like they are experiencing negative dynamics in their relationship that they witnessed in their family of origin. At times, we find we feel 'stuck' in a relationship or at worst, abused. For men in particular, this is a difficult situation. We meet virtually every other week for one hour. Contact me if you're interested in learning more.

In both my practice and personal life, I have witnessed many gay men struggling sustaining intimate relationships. Often times, I have seen individuals showing signs of CPTSD when it comes to taking action that could lead to a mutual loving and supportive relationship. In this group, I seek to help members learn from each other through sharing their own experiences. The goal is to help each person get in touch with beliefs, thoughts, judgments and feelings that repeatedly make it harder to find and sustain a partner in life.

Men's Issues Support Groups
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
