Unwanted:  Gain freedom from unwanted sexual behavior

When facing unwanted sexual behaviors like porn use, intrusive thoughts, or infidelity, many do not know where to seek help. With the prominent question of "How Did I Get Here?", the theory is that unwanted behaviors are a roadmap to healing, not a life sentence of shame or stigma. New Leaf Counseling is offering a small, intensive, class that uses Dr. Jay Stringer's book, Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. We will explore the key drivers and origins of unwanted sexual behaviors. With these resources, over 100,000 men and women have been led on a journey to healing. 

​

This weekly program is guided by New Leaf Counseling's Executive Director, Sean Ruthrauff, a Certified Guide for the Unwanted curriculum. Sean will compassionately guide you on a journey of understanding regarding where you've come from and be your ally as you choose where you go from here.

In this program, he will help you learn how to:

  • Engage with your personal story of brokenness or trauma

  • Recognize your re-enactments or reversals of trauma

  • Discuss rigid or disengaged family systems 

  • Identify core experiences of deprivation, entitlement, distraction, futility, lust, and anger

  • Address your lust and anger, and increase in self-awareness

  • Know your own values, strength, and wisdom derived from your experiences

  • Establish regular routines for healthy self-care practices

  • Understand your role in building healthy relationships and boundaries

  • Choose a mission, purpose, or community to facilitate forward motion in life

Engaging in your story with honor and honesty

Upon completion of this course, you will recognize the historical context and patterns of your behaviors so that you can experience healing and transformative change. 

Unwanted by Jay Stringer
