Spouses of Sex Addicts Intensive

Sexual addiction, infidelity, or betrayal of any kind takes a devastating toll on marriages and romantic relationships. Spouses and partners need support and healing to cope with the range of emotions and difficult experiences caused by betrayal.

What is a Spouses of Sex Addicts Intensive?

This intensive seeks to support women who are affected by their husband or partner's addiction, infidelity and betrayal and is customized to meet the specific needs and goals of the client and to help provide them support and a roadmap to healing.

What is the format for a Spouse's Intensive?

An intensive format differs from traditional counseling and can provide a client much more “traction” in a shorter timeframe as she navigates her way out of the pain and chaos of betrayal.

Typically, this intensive is structured so that an individual client meets 4 hours per day for 2-5 consecutive days with Vance Crow or Reneé Wells, who has been trained through The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS). A 30-minute phone consultation takes place before the intensive to better understand the situation, customize the treatment plan, and assign “pre-work” to the participant. Additionally, a 30-minute follow-up phone call is scheduled a month after the intensive for after care needs.

There will also be many recommended resources given to the client before and during therapy such as podcasts, book recommendations, and articles that will help with recovery.

Who should attend a Spouse Intensive?

Women, ages 18 and older, who are affected by their husband or partner's addiction, infidelity and betrayal
