SPARK Femmes (Sex and Pornography Addiction Recovery Kit)

About

We are collecting interest to choose a time/date for this semester. If you are interested, please reach out to sccgroups@utdallas.edu with your availability, and group will begin once we have enough students and a time/day is chosen.

SPARK Femmes is a supportive, nonjudgmental space for women and femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. Because these concerns can carry especially intense shame, stigma, and isolation for women and femmes, the group is designed to offer a private, affirming space where students can speak openly without fear of judgment.

Participants will have opportunities to process their experiences, explore what healthy sexuality means for them, and build practical tools for navigating urges, distress, shame, relationships, and recovery. Whether this is an issue that has only recently become concerning or something you have been navigating for a long time, SPARK Femmes will meet you where you are.

Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.

For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake paperwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of our therapists, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting with the group’s leader.

If you are a current or recent client, reach out to our Groups & Workshops Coordinator at sccgroups@utdallas.edu to schedule a screening meeting.
