Six-Day Intensive for Partners Impacted by Sex Addiction
(April 2-7, 2012)
ISH has developed a highly innovative 6-Day intensive of education and support for partners impacted by sex addiction and compulsivity. ISH has developed a partner-centered curriculum that provides vital information and support regarding sex addiction-induced trauma. The intensive involves a structured, organized group process of the 12 dimensions of trauma often experienced by partners and spouses impacted by sex addiction. Our program addresses the psychological, emotional, sexual, relational, and treatment needs of partners and spouses. The program also integrates expressive therapies and trauma-based regulation. The intensive utilizes an empowerment model that is designed to optimize safety, validation, empathy and support, and resiliency.
ISH is a strong advocate for evolution in the field towards a model that recognizes and treats the significant and profound trauma (C-PTSD) experienced by partners that results from the consequences of sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior and the associated patterns of relational perpetration, violation and abuse in the context of an intimate relationship. We do not endorse or use a “co-sex addiction” model to understand or treat a partner or spouse impacted by sex addiction and patterns of relational perpetration.

We Can Help
The partner and spouse of sex addicts intensive is partner-centered, which means that it is for and about you, the partner or spouse impacted by the consequences of sex addiction. The program is not focused on just learning about the addict. We recognize that you may question why help and support would be needed for the person who “doesn’t have the problem,” but one sad consequence of deception and sexual acting out in a relationship is that the partner or spouse ends up getting hurt and often requires help and support in order to heal and move forward.
