PARTNERS GROUPS

What are Partners Groups?
Partners Groups are support work groups for those desiring to heal from the affects of living with a sex addict.

 

How do they work?
One person in the group who wants to assist others who are in the healing process from the affects of sexual addiction will become the point person and the contact person for the group.

This person calls back those in need of help and will explain the group process and materials needed. If the newcomer is right for the group, the point person will inform the newcomer of the time and location of the group.

The point person serves the group for a six to twelve month period.

Partners Group Roles

  1. Point person serves as a contact person for anyone to be brought into the group. This is to protect the group from someone just dropping in on the group.
  2. The chair person is responsible to start the meeting making sure the newcomers are welcomed and choosing the topic for the meeting. The position of that chairperson rotates every 4-8 weeks so that others can serve the group.

The Partners Meetings

  1. The chair person starts the group.
  2. Each person in the group does a short check in: "My name is Sue. This week I worked on Exercise #14-#19 in my Partners Recovery Guide. What I learned has...I am still on Step Two and my acting behaviors this week have been..."
  3. Feedback time: After check in, if someone has feedback for another group member they need to ask permission before giving this feedback to them.
  4. The Topic-The chairperson brings up a topic so that everyone can share something about the topic in a timely manner.
  5. Share Time-The group breaks off into dyads and triads. Here you would share feelings, pain and issues of what is occurring during your healing process. Feedback is encouraged but ask permission first.
  6. Group Ends-Try to end the group in a timely manner to allow those who need to leave at a scheduled time.
