SRI launches its “Lunch Hour” Support Group

Friends and Colleagues,

I hope this finds everyone well and enjoying the long summer days. Over the past couple of months, I’ve received many emails, LinkedIn questions, and media inquiries about spouses and partners of sex addicts.  Questions range from:

-What happens to spouses and partners when sex addicts go into treatment?

-How do they recover from betrayal?

-What is the healing process from infidelity?

-Do spouses sit idle on the sidelines or do they enter their own treatment?

Having written extensively about this topic both in blog postings and books such as Untangling the Web: Sex, Porn and Fantasy Obsession in the Internet Age, at SRI we utilize my experience and research to guide treatment. As a result our work is expanding and spreading the word that spouse and partner support groups are as essential for a couple’s healing as the sex addict getting sexually sober.

Starting Thursday, August 19^th, we will begin offering a “lunch hour” support group for spouses and partners of sex addicts from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. The sessions will take place every Thursday at the Sexual Recovery Institute (SRI), facilitated by treatment specialist, Korina Jochim, M.A., one of the primary SRI staff. They will focus on building social support, understanding triggers, and creating healthy boundaries for partners of addicts.  Korina will also integrate grounding and meditation techniques as a management tool for those suffering from trauma.

The cost of the group is $75 per session with a three-month minimum commitment.  Those registered for the Thursday group are invited to join SRI’s Saturday psycho-education lectures free of charge.

To register, please contact Korina Jochim directly at 310-360-0041 ext. 202, or korina@sexualrecovery.com.
