PRESENTS:
Recovery
OF a
Sexuality that Works
We need to be released from the chaos of our full-blown
sexual compulsions and addictions. But it is easy to negate
or fear our sexual energies when trying to stop the chaos. Special
attention is required to learn how to use those powerful sexual
energies and navigate the vast middle ground between the extremes
of sexual anorexia and sexual compulsivity. Addiction is driven
by our needs and our traumas. How do we stop the addiction and
still honor the needs which lie under it? How do we heal the
traumas which create and fuel the addiction?
Join a group of like-minded men in recovery FROM sexual addiction
who are ready to explore a new focus on recovery OF a fully-expressive
sexuality that works. The group is intended to be a highly effective
supplement to 12-Step recovery work, providing a safe space
to address deeper issues – and perhaps not for someone
just beginning sexual recovery.
GROUP LIMITED TO 8 PARTICIPANTS.

* The Institute for Authentic Process Healing
The Institute for Authentic Process Healing (IAPH) is a nonprofit,
growth and healing program that has evolved from various psychotherapies,
the recovery movement, spiritual traditions, and the experiential
therapy movement. Working with a two-stage model of recovery,
the Institute’s focus is recovery of Self – recovery
of emotional, spiritual and sexual wholeness. IAPH seeks to
dissolve barriers to innate holism by using the Powers of Authentic
Process, Community Based Healing, Shared Intentionality, Shared
Belief, and Grounding through Resource. Institute programs are
for anyone seeking a path of personal growth and healing.
IAPH provides an extensive internet website – www.theinstitute.org
-- containing articles and other presentations to provide a
vision of reducing suffering and promoting possibility.
