  • Covenant Men Intensive Recovery Program

    Covenant Men is a specialized group designed to help you once and for all break free from porn addiction and related cyber-sexual or sexual addictions. These are perhaps the hardest of all addictions to overcome and need some very specialized guidance. With porn/cyber addictions, the mind is overtaken in so many ways, typically starting in youth, and ingrained deeply over time. Knowing where to start is daunting if you are trying to do it alone.

    Common first efforts are typically to try and tough it out, to just stop. But it is not really possible to white knuckle yourself into quitting. Noble as your efforts might be, the likelihood for failure is above 99%. To truly succeed, you must look deeper into the brain chemistry and its systems of reward, coping, habit, and love mapping, the systems that have been hijacked as porn diverted your normal sexual development.

    Our proven method addresses the causes, the cure, and the relationship challenges related to saving you from your addiction. Simultaneously, you learn to lift your spouse and your relationship out from the betrayal trauma that threatens to collapse your marriage.

    Becoming a Covenant Man is more than just stopping a bad behavior. It is about destroying the enemy within that is taking over your destiny as a man of valor and honor.

    We will help you unlock the strongholds in your life that are hidden from you, and forever alter the habits and choices that keep porn coming back. We will teach you how to hear from and heal your wife, if you are married, and to protect your future spouse if you are not.

    Ultimately, you will learn to restore the covenant you have with yourself that will drive you into success as a man in life, not just away from porn.

    The 16 weeks of intensive therapy is provided through written materials, weekly activities and lessons, weekly online process and coaching group hosted by Dr Chuck and his expert coaches. The cost of enrollment can be divided over four months for those who need it, with all materials included. You will have access to the group and to the materials for a full year, so that you can move less quickly if needed, recycle your learning to hone your recovery skills, or to do maintenance on your sobriety by continuing the group experience. See current rates for services and programs below.

    Recover Your Way

    Not every man has the same underlying needs, or can make the same approach. Connect Counseling offers three primary vehicles to Porn and Cyber-sexual or Infidelity Recovery. Chose the method that works for you, or combine them for the most powerful recovery possible.

    Free Support for Men

    Men from all over meet each Saturday at 10am eastern on Zoom, for free! Porn addiction, cybersex, sexual acting out, and infidelity all assault the marriage. That much we know. But it also assaults a man’s self-image to the core, creating a narcissistic wounding that just won’t stop. The more you use it, the worse you feel. The more you try to stop it and fail, the worse you feel. Being honest with your wife and watching her in pain, the worse you feel. Eventually, most men simply give up and give in to the addiction once again.

    Support groups done right have a huge benefit to men who struggle. We know you will never get free from white knuckling with willpower. You will never be free with punishments, external control psychologies, or even from losing your marriage. Freedom comes with knowledge, then skillful action. Join us to change your future, with other men who have been there and come out from the pit of shame and defeat to live victoriously after recovery.

    Recovery Intensive Online

    If you have tried those “Purity Groups” at church, or tried Sex Addiction counseling, or 12-step groups, only to find that you are shoved into perpetually toxic shame, guilts, and feelings of worthlessness, then you have discovered why many have failed. Porn and infidelity are not simply a “sin” issue that demands discipline and punishment, nor can it simply be prayed away. There are reasons that you are trapped, and you need to discover those reasons before you can defeat them. Your marriage will continue to suffer and decay until you learn that this recovery challenge is not about bad behavior, its about programming and conditioning. To save your relationship, to save your self-esteem, and to save your future, you need more.

    This hybrid class combines the synergy of support groups, the expert guidance of trained counselors and coaches, and the materials and worksheets Dr Chuck uses in one-on-one recovery counseling, all supported by a weekly process group experience. Join us for perhaps the most cost-effective evidence-based program you can find, one that has a high success rate, and does not subject men to messages of shame and worthlessness, while still supporting their wife’s journey to healing and the restoration of the marriage. Enroll today to change your tomorrows!

    Sometimes it takes a little bit more to break free. When men have deeper hurts and fear, most often associated with childhood trauma, abuse, or neglect, or other times with failed or traumatic relationships experiences, porn and cybersex hold aggressively. Deep hurt creates deep need for affirmation, connection, control, image, and many other facets of self-identity. When this is the case, or if saving your marriage is urgent, individual counseling and coaching is the best solution. Dr Chuck will personally guide you through a more customized version of the recovery process, while rooting out those hidden traps and triggers that cause you to fail or stumble. He will give you strategies to recovery your relationship, if possible, while also recovering who you are, or were, before porn hijacked your life.

    One on one counseling can accelerate your recovery, but it is also for assuring that you do all you can do to stop harming others, restore your relationship, or in some cases, to prepare you for a future relationship that will not be impacted by porn and infidelity. The cost for one on one is greatly reduced for those who are active military or Christian believers; the two groups that are most at risk of losing their marriages over infidelity. There are also discounts for tele-health sessions. Set up a free consultation by emailing Dr Chuck Today at the link below.
