Porn Addiction Workshop Part 1
Part 1 (Weeks 1-6): Laying the Foundation for Recovery
This six-week program, led by Dr. Larry Green—a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified counselor specializing in addiction—forms the first half of a 12-week recovery process. While participants are encouraged to complete both parts of the program for comprehensive benefits, Part 1 focuses on building a solid foundation for understanding and overcoming pornography addiction.
Is This Group Right for You?
This workgroup is specifically designed for men who may resonate with one or more of the following:
-Pornography has become your primary or sole form of sexual or emotional connection.
-You feel uncomfortable identifying as a “sex addict” because your struggle doesn’t involve in-person sexual interactions.
-You rely on pornography to cope with feelings like loneliness, anxiety, or frustration, and you’re tired of the cycle of shame and isolation.
What to Expect from this group:
Dr. Green takes a unique approach that goes beyond addressing surface behaviors. His expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, and emotional regulation ensures that participants gain deeper insights and practical strategies for recovery. During these first six weeks, you will:
–Explore the roots of your porn use—understanding its origins and the factors that contributed to its escalation.
–Create a personalized plan for stepping back from pornography, tailored to your specific triggers and patterns.
–Learn evidence-based techniques to manage challenging emotions like anxiety, shame, and loneliness that often fuel addictive behaviors.
Your Path Forward:
By completing Part 1 of the Porn Addiction Workgroup, you will:
–Gain a deeper understanding of the emotional and relational drivers behind your pornography use.
-Begin the process of achieving pornography sobriety—both in the immediate and long term.
–Develop essential tools to manage cravings and create a healthier, more fulfilling life.
-Be fully prepared to continue your recovery in Part 2 of the program, which builds on the foundation established in this group.
