Does Your Sexual Behavior Feel Out of Control?
In everyday language, people talk about sex addiction or pornography addiction to label sexual behaviors that feel out of control. However, in the world of sex research, labeling this an addiction remains controversial, because there are many versions of “normal” sexual expression in human beings. The World Health Organization recognizes “Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder” as an official condition.
Building a Healthy Sexuality
Sexual and emotional education is the cornerstone of the therapy group’s approach. In addition to the support and understanding of fellow group members, each meeting features a teaching segment from the group therapist and an open discussion of a topic of interest. Some weeks will also ask you to complete brief readings or homework assignments. You will learn about healthy strategies to handle distressing emotions, building a healthy sex life, attachment and relationships, mindfulness and compassion, relapse prevention, and the impact of culture on gender expectations and sexuality.
Why Group Therapy?
Joining a group means benefiting from a small community that will uplift you and continue rooting for you throughout your therapeutic journey. Groups are one of the most effective ways to safely break through the habits of shame and secrecy and rebuild your life with authenticity and integrity. People who join therapy groups are often surprised at how quickly they begin to feel relieved to meet others who really “get it”.

What is the format?
For now, the group is open to cisgender men aged 18 or older.
First-time participants are asked to commit to one cycle of 10 weekly in-person meetings at Psychologia (2791 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine). Meetings last 90 to 120 minutes (to be determined based on the number of participants). The fee per meeting is $75, payable in advance ($750 total).
Once they have gone through a full cycle covering all topics, participants are welcome to continue attending the group according to their needs.
