2. We don't give advice to any
members of our group, unless asked for during sharing.
3. Please limit your sharing time
to 3-5 minutes, with a large group; this will usually give enough
time for everyone to share.
4. If we want to respond to what
someone has shared during our own sharing, we may do so by talking
about our own experience, using "I" statements, not "you" or "we".
5. We will avoid sexually explicit
descriptions and not use foul language. If anyone feels
uncomfortable with any specific descriptions during the sharing, you
may indicate so by raising your hand, whoever is sharing will
respect your boundaries by being less specific in their
descriptions.
6. We work on uncovering and
repairing our own defects; we refuse to take away from our own
recovery by focusing on our husband's, or significant other's
defects. We avoid self-pity and blaming others.
7. By arriving on time and sharing
in our group on a consistent basis, we give of ourselves to others
in the group-we get back recovery.
8. Anonymity and confidentiality
are basic requirements-what is shared in the group stays in the
group and is not to be discussed with anyone, including spouses or
significant others.
9. The focus of our group is to
heal ourselves, to have a deeper, more intimate relationship with
Jesus Christ and to release our relationships over to His care.
