The Group counseling process:

Group therapy offers a unique sanctuary for men whose wives have experienced past sexual abuse. By creating a shared space of understanding and camaraderie, it provides an avenue for these men to express often suppressed emotions, learn from the collective experiences of the group, and receive validation for their feelings. Additionally, group therapy provides essential insights into the intricacies of trauma, equipping them with tools to better support their partners while also emphasizing the importance of self-care. In a collective setting, men can collaboratively explore strategies for rebuilding trust, enhancing communication, and fostering intimacy, all while benefiting from the mutual support and understanding that comes from shared journeys.

Each group therapy session is 90 minutes long. The group will be 5 weeks long and every member will be screened to support group dynamics and keep it as useful an experience possible for all participants. It's not a process that is over immediately, but sharing your experience, and hearing other men is empowering and can bring hope and renovation to your relationship.
