Monthly Subscription Unlimited Support Groups
Weekly on Tuesday 7:30pm EST, Wednesday 12pm EST, Thursdays 10am EST
Join us for these recovery group sessions to gain valuable insights, share your experiences, and receive support from others who are on a similar journey. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive space for everyone to grow and heal together. This is a subscription. For 100.00 a month you can attend as many groups as you like a month.
Group Guidelines:
1. Showing Up
Arrive on time and stay in group for the duration, unless you need a time out to help emotionally regulate (aka, calm down). This group is created as a drop in group and because of that you do not have to tell me whether or not you are coming. Just show up on time. The group only lasts for an hour so please be punctual and set aside a bit of time to do this to support yourself.
2. Participation and Abstinence
Participation in class requires abstinence during or immediately before group from alcohol, non- prescription drugs, or any prescription drugs that may prohibit your ability to interact in class in an appropriate manner. Other forms of sobriety about areas that may concern you (emotional, sexual, relationship, work, financial/debt, spending, etc.) will be explored further in group, along the process. While we cannot mandate sobriety for those in addiction recovery, slips or relapses may prevent your ability to participate in a group in a balanced way. In the event of an addiction relapse of any kind, you will be encouraged to take immediate action to reestablish sobriety.
3. Balanced Participation
Some people are naturally extroverted, some are naturally introverted, and others operate with some combination, depending on the circumstances. Communication dynamics are always established in groups of people and this gathering will be no exception. In order to keep our participation balanced and avoid any person or people dominating the group discussion time, we will all need to self-monitor to the best of our ability. If you have a strength at extroversion, guard against taking more group time than is balanced. If you are naturally quiet in groups, challenge yourself to speak up more and take your turn to share. As the facilitator I may invite you to practice in either direction if I sense things are out of balance, but please let me know if you sense this as well.
4.Keeping Confidences, Conflict During Discussion, and Keeping Secrets*
Class members keep confidentiality for one another. This means not discussing specifics of what other class members say, sharing full names of other members, or giving out other identifying details related to the lives of other classmates without permission (e.g., phone numbers, professional affiliations, etc.). If you need support to process something that occurred during class with someone outside of the group, do not name names and keep the focus on yourself, your feelings, and your experiences. Do your best to keep it gentle; do not criticize or gossip about others. Please remember, who you see here and what you hear here, stays in the group.
Please remember, some discomfort and conflict is natural in intimate relationships, and this class is no exception; in fact, uncomfortable feelings are often part of the transformation process! Here are some intimacy tips as you prepare for class:
Expect and even embrace that some confusion will be part of learning and growing, on the path to clarity.
Breathe, practice tolerating your discomfort, and bring issues up directly in class that concern you.
Use “I” statements and avoid trying to fix, giving unasked for advice, or analyzing others (“taking their inventory”).
Yelling, swearing at, and name-calling are not permitted in class.
Groups tend to catalyze family of origin or other past group dynamics—what an opportunity to try to resolve differences in a supportive setting!
We will discuss and practice how to turn conflict into intimate conversation through skilled communication
Thank you all so very much. I know this will be a great and rewarding experience for all of you. Sincerely, Tamara
