Sexual Behaviors and Addiction

Mens Intensive Workshop

Men's intensive workshops take place in two different formats. Individual intensives are structured on a case-by-case basis. They have lasted as little as two days and as many as thirty. Group intensives are done in a 3-day format described later in this section. Group intensives are often sponsored by a counseling center, recovery program, church/faith group, or some type of recovery community. For specific details contact the program director, Richard Blankenship.

Problematic sexual behavior (sometimes called sexual addiction/hypersexuality) is an intimacy disorder. Intimacy is about connecting and being real with each other. The focus of our men's workshops is on finding ways to heal the wounds of PSB and meet these needs in healthy ways. Rebuilding trust, respect, safety, and hope will help create relationships in which intimacy can grow. Our workshops will equip you with the tools necessary for your journey of transformation and recovery.

Group Intensive Schedule and Fees:

Intensive workshops typically start at 9:00 a.m. on Friday and conclude at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Some may take place earlier in the week. We try to locate close to major airports in settings appropriate for the work that we do. We only give out the exact location of the retreat to registered participants in order to protect confidentiality. Fees are typically $800-1100 per person if registered 15-30 days in advance. Prices vary depending on location and workshop logistics. We can assist you in finding a roommate during this workshop if you stay in a hotel. We find this helps create safety and accountability.
