    28: Why Attend a Men's Intensive?
    Nov 8 2024
    You’ve heard us talk about intensives, but what exactly are they and how can they help in recovery? Join Luke as he talks with Brandon and Curtis, two men who recently attended the Unmasked Intensive hosted by Choose Recovery Services. Brandon and Curtis explain the benefits that focusing on their healing in an intensive setting with other men in similar circumstances had on their growth and healing. They reveal how their self-discovery work during the intensive sparked profound personal change, helped them gain deeper self-acceptance, allowed them to be vulnerable, and enabled them to experience authentic connection. If you are interested in exploring whether a Choose Recovery Services intensive might be a good fit for you, visit our Intensives webpage.
