8-Week Structured Group for Men
Led by Chris Chatwin, CIT, DST

About This Group

Phase I: Discover is the first step in the EMBRAC3D process — a structured, trauma-informed healing experience created specifically for men who want to step out of secrecy and begin rebuilding trust and integrity in their relationships.

This is a group for men who are ready for honest work in a safe, guided environment.

Over eight weeks, we will gently and directly explore the patterns that often remain hidden — secrecy, compartmentalization, minimizing, defensiveness, avoidance. Not to shame. Not to attack. But to understand.

When we understand clearly, we can change responsibly.

Grounded in the Deceptive Sexuality and Trauma (DST) framework developed by Omar Minwalla, this phase helps men move from isolation and self-protection toward empathy, ownership, and relational integrity.

Discover is where clarity begins — and where real change becomes possible.

What Commitment Looks Like

This is not a drop-in group.

It is a structured, sequential process.

Each week builds on the last.

Participants agree to:

• Attend all 8 Tuesday evening sessions

• Arrive on time and remain present for the full session
• Complete weekly reflection and integration work between meetings
• Maintain strict confidentiality for all group members

• Be engaged in individual therapy (current or initiated during the group)

Consistent participation creates safety — and safety allows meaningful growth.

If you are unsure about your readiness, we welcome a conversation before registration.

Who This Group Is For

This group is for men who:

• Have engaged in deceptive or hidden sexual behaviors
• Want to understand the full relational impact of those behaviors
• Are willing to take responsibility without defensiveness or justification
• Desire to rebuild integrity from the inside out

You do not need to have everything figured out.
You simply need to be willing.

The EMBRAC3D Journey

This group is the first phase of a three-part transformational process:

Phase I – Discover (Illumination)
Ending Secrecy. Understanding Harm. Seeing the Full Story.

Phase II – Dedicate (Application)
Building Structures of Integrity. Practicing Accountability.

Phase III – Deliver (Transformation)
Delivering Safety. Living Relational Integrity.

Each phase builds on the one before it. Phase I lays the foundation.
