Psychoeducation for men who want to understand how living a secret sexual life is psychological abuse that impacts you and your loved ones. Nobody is perfect…However, every man can become a better man.
A confidential psychoeducation webinar-based group process for men who are dealing with deceptive sexuality. This program helps men better understand how a secret sexual life is a covert psychological operation of entitlement and abuse, the traumatic impacts to the people they love, and then how to initiate movement towards responsibility and mature masculinity.
Seeing What Has Been Hidden
A foundational course that helps men move from darkness into clarity like stepping out of a cave and into the light by accurately identifying the abuse-victim-trauma reality of deceptive sexuality. Participants learn why a secret sexual basement is an integrity-abuse and dishonesty problem, not merely a sexual issue, and are introduced to the 22 traumatic impacts on partners, children, and the family system.
$3,800 USD
Once reality is seen, responsible action must follow.
If Illumination is about seeing clearly, Application is about answering the question: “Now that you’ve seen the light what’s the plan, man?”
This structured learning phase focused on behavioral change, accountability, and relational responsibility. Men learn about Ego Work, Integrity-Abuse Behavioral Change, Attending Work, Mountain Work, and Masculine Maturation, while preparing for Voice-Up and IAA Accountability Group participation.

Demonstrated Readiness for Practice
The Better Man Bridge is a highly focused, 10-week psychoeducational program based on Dr. Minwalla’s Ten Steps Curriculum, designed to take participants’ understanding of Abuse–Victim–Trauma (AVT) significantly deeper. Each step represents a critical set of teachings required for continued development. Weekly programming includes a live lecture by Dr. Minwalla followed by a Voice-Up session, assigned readings, structured homework, and post-tests to ensure comprehension and integration.
The Bridge functions as both preparation and ethical screening for advancement into Voice-Up Groups, IAA Accountability Groups, and conscious, evolved masculine spaces, under the supervision of Alpha Shepard, MD. Each step is a necessary plank required to get to the promised land. This is not a symbolic passage; it is a demonstrated one.

The focus of education will be on behavioral change and how to create a self-study on integrity with the goal of helping men to reduce integrity-abuse behaviors. The education helps men develop a blueprint for how to apply cognitive-behavioral techniques to address specific integrity-abuse behaviors and patterns which may be getting in the way of healing.
The focus of the education is on a human being’s internal reality and how to help men understand the importance of developing ego strength and ego health more consciously so that they can care for themselves better, which may allow them to attend and care for the people and relationships they have harmed, better.
The focus of the education is on how to progressively come to terms with reality and become more able to better attend to the intimate partner or spouse, the abusive-injured relationship, as well as children and the family system.
The focus of the education is to review the various options for work, encourage development of a plan and then provide education on how to work the plan into an ongoing practice, a personalized and focused way to do some work, your Better Man practice.

Licensed Psychotherapist
Licensed Psychologist & Clinical Sexologist
Dr. Omar Minwalla is a Licensed Psychologist and Clinical Sexologist trained at the University of Minnesota Medical School. Dr. Minwalla has spent 20 years as a first responder on the front lines of treating infidelity and compulsive sexual behavior. His grounded theory of Deceptive Sexuality and Trauma Treatment (DSTT) not only establishes a new standard of care for the treatment of infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior disorders, and sex addiction, but shines a light on a unique method for the treatment of systemic abuse, injustice and complex trauma, called Intentional Vibe Trauma Treatment (IVTT). Dr. Minwalla is the founder of The Institute for Sexual Health (ISH) which was one of the first and only U.S. treatment centers to challenge the “co-sex addict” model and articulate the systemic abuse associated with infidelity and compulsive sexual behavior disorder.
