Welcome to UnShackled!, our 10-step self-injury recovery program contains a total of 20 lessons taught one at a time.

UnShackled! starts with a specific lesson, followed by discussions based on that particular lesson. This is a "come as you want" basis with no committment required. 

UnShackled will start its next session in 2012! 

The basic guidelines of the UnShackled program during "open discussions" are as follows:

• Focus on your own thoughts and feelings.
• Limit your sharing time to 3 - 5 minutes.
• Listen without interruptions or cross-talk, which excludes others.

• Remember, we are not here to fix" anyone. Please remember that you should not and cannot attempt to "fix" or "excuse" another.
• Keep the names of participants and their confessions in the group confidential. The only exception is when someone threatens themselves or others.
• Avoid offensive language and/or graphic descriptions.

UnShackled! promises to be a safe place to share, leaders who have experienced similar hurts, and opportunities for accountability partners. We do not provide professional clinical advice. Our leaders are not counselors, but if needed, can provide you with counseling referrals.
