While we work with all genders and we believe that we all need to be skilled in relating to and interacting with all genders, it can sometimes be helpful to spend time in a group of same gender identifying people to reduce one of the variables that causes complexity and misunderstanding in our relationships. By popular demand, we have two different men’s group offerings.
Tuesday Men’s Interpersonal Process Group – This group mimics real life as much as possible inviting you to focus on the present moment experience and what is being experienced in the interpersonl relationships in the group. It’s a real time lab where you give and receive support while focusing on learning about yourself, your patterns, and developing more honest, authentic, interpersonal relationships.
Thursday Elemental Masculinity Group – This group is for men who want more direct facilitation, teaching, and challenge to aid in cultivating awareness and skill in the domains of thinking, feeling, doing, and being and how to apply these essential skills to life challenges.
Tuesday 5-6:30
This men’s interpersonal process group can help you get more real, more honest with yourself and others propelling you into deeper relationships and deeper success through challenge and support by other men. It is a real-time lab, where you will experience yourself and others with greater awareness and be able to try new behaviors and ways of relating to be more effective in your life.
All topics and goals are welcome. Common themes are anger, depression, anxiety, personal identity, masculinity, relationships with women and/or other men, assertiveness, sex/sexuality, disconnect from emotions, work problems, fatherhood, confidence/self-esteem, accountability, honesty, spirituality, finding purpose and meaning in life. The group runs on the topics you bring, and is then facilitated more directly into the here-and-now relationships with the other people in the group.
This group has been running weekly since 2016 facilitated by Chuck and over a decade prior to that facilitated by a psychologist who retired passing it on to Chuck. The long-running stability, diversity of age, background, and experience of the members, and the experience of the facilitator is rare and one of the most beneficial parts of this group.
The ideal man will have had previous or current experience in therapy or other personal growth, but motivation and desire for greater self awareness will also enable you to benefit if this is your first growth experience.
All men are welcome in this group. You are welcome with all of your struggles, your gifts, your challenges, your gender, your sexuality, your personality, your pain, your shame, your questions, your desires.All of you is welcome here!
It is an ongoing group. $50 per group. 10 week minimum commitment, but most people want to continue on long term for the support, authentic relationships, and unique opportunity to grow with a safe, established, circle of men and trained, experienced, professional facilitator.
To learn more, reach out to inquire if there is an opening. You will either be put on a waitlist for an opening or we’ll schedule a free consult to see if this group is a good fit.
Facilitated by: Chuck Hancock, M.Ed., LPC.
