The traditional model can only get clients so far.
Clients who are dealing with the damage from compulsive or problematic sexual behavior often need more than a weekly hour-long meeting to reset their systems and begin recovery. As their therapist, watching your clients’ slow progress week in and week out can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and discouraging.
Build the Confidence and Skills You Need to Offer Intensive Therapy for Sex Addiction and Betrayal Trauma
As a Certified Hope & Freedom Practitioner (CHFP), you can offer your clients three days of intensive therapy—18 uninterrupted, personalized hours—to address your clients’ past, sort through the present, and make a plan for their future.
Give your clients the foundation for recovery they need to find true hope and freedom from addiction and betrayal trauma.
