Treatment Needs of Partners of Sex Addicts:
A Seminar for Partners and Treatment Professionals
Partners of sex addicts live with extreme pain, confusion and trauma, as a result of loving someone whose behaviors are out of control.
In an effort to address the significant yet sorely unaddressed clinical needs of partners, an experienced group of sex addiction and compulsivity therapists and counseling professionals will offer a seminar focused solely on the treatment needs of partners of sex addicts. Too often, partners' needs in the treatment process are overlooked, minimized or profoundly misunderstood.
This seminar is the first of its kind - a series of presentations and group dialogue focused specifically on the treatment needs of partners and spouses impacted by sexual addiction.
Seminar topics will include partner trauma, models of recovery for the partner, the trauma model and effective treatment for couples.
If you are the partner of a sex addict:
We invite you to attend - to receive not only powerful information, but also validation and hope to help you cope with the pain of being a partner.
We also invite you to share your experience with us, in a very confidential and informal forum, so we can learn how to better serve and treat the needs of partners of sex addicts.
