Frequently  Asked  Questions​

• What is RCA?

  • RCA - Recovering Couples is a fellowship of couples in recovery working towards healing and healthy coupleships.​

• What is a Zoom hybrid meeting?

  • Hybrid meetings are a combination of Zoom and in-person meetings being held online. It allows everyone to participate either in the meeting location or on the computer/phone. 

• What is Crosstalk and we try in our meetings to avoid this?

  •  Cross talk is any interruption that distracts attention away from the person who is speaking. This includes vocalizations, facial expressions, and body movements, as well as verbally responding to the content. All sharing should be directed to the entire group and never to any specific individual, particularly a partner. This avoids triggers of shame and guilt for partners and others in the group. This also helps us maintain a safe environment that people want to come back to and continue to work on themselves and the Coupleship.

• Do we need to turn on our camera on the phone or computer?

  • We do ask that you turn on your camera. While anonymity is important, the safety, security, and comfort of the other people in the group is as well. If you need to turn it off for a few moments as to not distract that is an option.

• Do we have to share?

  • You are not required to share on the topic or check in. If one person in your coupleship shares, the other person in the Coupleship can choose whether or not they also wish to share, there are not musts.

• Can I share about my partner?

  • During your share we ask that you use “I” statements and discuss things from your point of view. A good analogy is, “keep the focus on your recovery and the effects, your ESH"​

  • There are many ways to get a sponsor couple. Attend many meetings and see if any of the couples resonate with you both and have the recovery that you want.

  • Once you have joined our group and one partner cannot make the meeting you are welcome to join us as an observer for that week.  

• What is a chair couple?
