Our Goal
This course focuses on the members of the addict’s family and special populations. Treating spouses of sex addicts (both male and female) is a critical part of the recovery journey. This course focuses on the areas often neglected in treating sexual addiction. Richard Blankenship and the staff of Faithful and True Atlanta have pioneered in treating sexually addicted children, as young as age 5. Many addicts are in second marriages. This course addresses the challenges of stepfamilies dealing with sexual addiction. Working with same-sex attraction issues is a key part of this course. Experiential couples work using the work of Virginia Satir is a part of this course.
Additional faculty may include David Hall, Adam Bagley, Dr. Mark Richardson, and others with areas of expertise in the field of sexual addiction treatment.
