Ground Rules for Group:
  • Participants must be at least 18 years of age, be male-identified and have had an unwanted sexual experience (i.e., childhood sexual abuse and/or adult sexual assault). Anyone who does not meet these criteria will be asked to leave immediately.
  • We encourage participants to seek therapy from licensed clinicians. Please note that OSG does not replace or substitute psychological or mental health services.
  • As participants, we agree to start on time. Although we close the doors after 20 minutes, we encourage all participants to start at the top of the hour as late participants can be disruptive.
  • We commit to stay for the full session – i.e., we expect participants to stay for the 60-minutes.
  • We commit to confidentiality. “Who we see here, what we hear here, let it stay here.”
  • We refrain from advice-giving or asking for advice from other participants
  • We refrain from asking direct questions to others. Instead, we focus on our own experiences using “I” statements.
  • Please participate! Sessions are only productive if members share and talk with one another.
  • We have the right to pass. That said, we expect everyone to participate in the opening and closing round (i.e., check in and check out).
  • We expect that fellow participants and staff will be treated with respect. Abusive language will not be tolerated and those who violate this rule will be ejected for that session.
  • Please refrain from sharing unnecessarily graphic language as it may be triggering for others.
  • We will be sober for the session.
  • No personally identifying information is to be shared with other participants. This includes names, emails, phone numbers, etc.
We may edit your comments via a private message (PM) to you or delete if not appropriate if they are in violation of any of the above ground rules.

Hey,  I happened to find the group after my long time therapist from over a year ago suggested the option of a trauma specific group and I finally decided to do so over a year later.  I shared something last week that I have not shared yet in public.  Is this a safe space where privacy is respected at least by facilitators and Mods?
Kevin Taylor, Facilitator
4:08
of course Maaz!
Mitsuo
4:08
I'm feeling happy today if a bit overwhelmed
Rafael

Keys

This is a safe place and the chat set up allows everything to stay in session. That's why I like these groups.
