Facing the Shadow
This group focuses on treatment for those trying to overcome problematic sexual behaviors or addiction. The curriculum for this group centers around Facing the Shadow by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D. and is based on the decades of research he has put into treating sexual addictions. The workbook covers the first 7 tasks of Carnes’ 30-Task Model for successful, long-term recovery. These tasks cover areas of recovery, such as:
- Recognizing Self-Delusion,
- Understanding Addiction,
- Understanding [the individual’s] Behaviors,
- Accepting the Problem,
- Responding to Change and Crisis,
- Managing Life Without Dysfunctional Sexual Behaviors,
- Managing the Physical Impact of the behaviors,
- Creating Your Support System,
- Deepening Recovery for Profound Life Change. (Carnes, 2015)
This group meets once each week for 90 minutes.

Recovery Zone - phase 2
Recovery Zone focuses treatment on Tasks 8-19 of the Carnes 30-Task Model. This group is a continuation of the Facing the Shadow group and deepens the recovery that was achieved in that group. It is divided into 2 parts. The first part uses the curriculum from Carnes’ Recovery Zone, vol. 1, Making Changes that Last: The Internal Tasks. This part helps the individual complete tasks 8-13 and address topics such as addressing anger, anxiety, trauma, fear, and grief and loss. (Carnes, 2009) The second part will use the curriculum from Carnes’ Recovery Zone, vol. 2, Achieving Balance in Your Life: The External Tasks. This part helps the individual complete Tasks 14-19, and includes topics such as how to restore financial viability, rediscover meaningful work, build supportive personal relationships, create lifestyle balance, establish healthy exercise and nutrition patterns, and involve family members in therapy. (Carnes, in print) This group meets one time a month.
