Couple's New Foundations

New Foundations is a 14 week psychoeducational and experiential group for couples beginning their recovery journey. This group introduces couples to the concepts of addiction, the addiction model, and how addcition is a disease of a family system and what that means to the process of recovery and healing.

This group is for people who are searching for healing from sexual addiction, cybersex addiction, porn addiction, love addiction, sexual anorexia, and sexual codependence. The group consists of two 90 minute sessions, the first part pertaining to education, through lectures, videos, invited speakers, role playing and question and answers.

The second part of the program is a therapy group, divided into the needs of the participants and co-facilitated by addiction professionals. Each partner and addict group will focus on the various beliefs, thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are causing them comcern and driving their addictive and coaddictive behaviors.

Life Works Recovery brings many years of experience with sex addiction and coaddiction to the process, and utilizes Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSAT's) and other experienced addiction professionals. This is the first program in the Dallas area of it's kind, emphasizing the treatment of sex addicts and their partners in one task-centered model.

The beginning of the recovery journey is usually met with anger, fear, grief and loss. Life Works provides a process of helping people see things with new eyes and provides an environment where understanding and stopping the harmful and often dangerous behaviors can begin.

Through this 14 week focus group, Life Works Recovery will provide:

Licensed and seasoned professionals specially trained to meet the needs of newly recovering people.

Educational and experiential processes driven from current knowledge and research on sex addiction and healing.

A non-judgemental, supportive, and encouraging environment that fosters the self-awareness necessary to interrupt harmful behaviors, and supplies tools to sustain recovery.
