Nice Guy Recovery Group

Many men struggle with the “Nice Guy Syndrome,” a term coined in the book No More Mr. Nice Guy. Nice Guys give up their power, hide their mistakes, suppress their needs, and use many other maladaptive strategies. They do this because, at the core, they do not believe they are worthy to have their needs met. This therapy group consists of men supporting each other in recovering from their Nice Guy Syndrome.

What is a “Nice Guy”?

Nice Guys struggle with setting and protecting boundaries
Nice Guys are not honest with others or themselves
Nice Guys don’t know how to get their needs met
Nice Guys believe their needs don’t matter
Nice Guys operate on the core belief that they are not worthy or welcome as they are
