Is Celebrate Recovery a Safe Place?
Yes. Celebrate Recovery maintains strict confidentiality. This promotes an atmosphere of trust and enables recovery. We have a saying that is repeated in every Large Group meeting: WHO you see here. WHAT you hear here. WHEN you leave here. STAYS HERE. We are diligent about confidentiality and anonymity. The FIVE guidelines/rules protect all of us from judgment and being “fixed”. It creates a “safe place” you can take off your “mask” and be real and honest without fear.
What are the Five Guidelines/Rules?
-
Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Limit your sharing to three to five minutes.
-
There is NO cross talk. Cross talk is when two individuals engage in conversation excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her feelings without interruptions.
-
We are here to support one another, not "fix" another.
-
Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.
-
Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery group.
