Emotions Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who desire to improve their emotional well-being. EA members come together in weekly meetings for the purpose of working toward recovery from any sort of emotional difficulties. EA members are of diverse ages (18+), races, economic status, social and educational backgrounds. The only requirement for membership is a desire to become well emotionally.
Currently there are EA groups in more than 30 countries, with more than 600 active groups, including skype and phone meetings. EA is nonprofessional; it can be a complement to mental health therapy but it is not necessary to be seeking professional help to attend EA meetings.
As an anonymous program, EA respects the confidentiality of its members at all times. Members are not required to share any personal details - or even last names - if they do not chose to at meetings. As a spiritual program, there is an emphasis on a Higher Power. Experience has shown the EA program works equally well for any religious affiliations and those without religious beliefs.
EA provides a warm and accepting group setting in which to share experiences without fear of criticism. Through weekly support meetings, members discover they are not alone in their struggles. We may each have different symptoms, but the underlying emotions are the same or similar.
The International Service Center is the administrative arm of EA; the EA Board of Trustees is made up of members from across the United States. EA is fully supported by member contributions and material purchases.
Phones are answered Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 12:00 PM (Noon) - 4:00 PM Central Time.
