Emotions Anonymous

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emotions Anonymous is a 12-Step program similar to Alcoholics Anonymous, but for those seeking to improve their mental or emotional health. There are currently about 1,100 Emotions Anonymous groups active in the United States [1]. Emotions Anonymous founder, Marion Flesch (born 1911 died October 10, 2004) of St. Paul, Minnesota, originally went to Al-Anon meetings at the advice of a friend to help deal with panic attacks [2]. In 1971 Flesch created Emotions Anonymous to bring the benefit of the 12-Steps to people suffering from emotional problems. Some Emotions Anonymous groups focus on specific demographics such as the Gay and Lesbian group formed in Michigan [3].
