Online Support Groups for Women

Women’s Sex/Love Addiction Drop-In Discussion GroupS with Lacy bentley

FREE

These are a drop-in discussion groups for women (only) dealing with sex and/or love addiction, hosted by Lacy Bentley. Groups meet Tuesday (free) and Thursday (paid) 4:30pm Pacific, 7:30pm Eastern.

These are not 12-step groups or therapy; they are a place to share struggles or triumphs, to give and receive support, and to just not be alone. We want this to be a safe place for all who identify as being a female sex, porn, or love addict.

Groups are not recorded, but do allow you to turn on your video camera so you can see and be seen by others in the group. You have the option of turning off your camera to remain more anonymous if you so choose. Either way, we ask that you keep your microphone muted until you wish to speak so that any background noise is not disruptive to the group.

Lacy and her husband Jon also run meetings together for male partners. Contact Lacy for more info: 801-358-9806, or via lacy@herrecoveryroadmap.com.

Launching Weekly Women's Online Group: "Connected"

Starting 25th January 2021, ongoing

18:00 to 19:15 (CET)


"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are"

(Brene Brown)


Starting on 25th January 2021, a new weekly, online women’s group, Connected. A safe and confidential space for a small group of women to explore their core sense of authentic, emotional intimacy. I believe groups provide the perfect setting for us to learn more about ourselves, our relationship patterns and to understand better our emotions.

One emotion that groups help us appreciate is shame. Brené Brown (2008) found twelve categories in which women struggle the most with feelings of shame. These include: appearance and body image, motherhood, family, parenting, money and work, mental and physical health, sex, aging, religion, being stereotyped and labeled, speaking out and surviving trauma. I believe we are all wounded. We are all healing. There are few better places to heal than with other kindred spirits in a facilitated group setting. The group is facilitated by myself thereby providing focus, safety and structure. Sessions typically begin with a short check-in, followed by a discussion topic. The group is interactive with all members encouraged to participate and share.

This is a closed group. To protect the safety and integrity of the group, a 6-week attendance commitment is required. Places are limited and will be awarded according to suitability and after that on a first come first served basis. The maximum number who can attend will be 10. The cost is €50 per session. After the six-week block, members may leave the group or others may be invited to join. In summary, Connected will be a space to realize through exploration and through the eyes of others that you are good enough. For further information, please contact me.
