What professionals are saying about these trainings...

Testimonials

"The piece I have been missing."

by Ann Sullivan, CSAT-C

"[Until this course]..."the piece I have been missing is having resources, assignments, tools, psychoeducation that is specifically geared toward female sex and love addicts, and not just pieced together from other things. You beyond met my expectations…it was so affirming."

"Helpful for female partners of sex addicts too."

Sophia D. Caudle, LPC, PhD, LPCOS, CSAT-S

"I felt validated that working with FSLA is not a typical therapy process…every class was really great…most of these strategies would be helpful with female partners of sex addicts too."

"Feeling a sense of increased confidence."

Catherine Etherington, Certified Professional Life Coach, CPC-C

[My main takeaway was] "...feeling a sense of increased confidence that there are tools, that are appropriate for coaching, that can be used to support FSLA’s. I was encouraged by how practical and tool-based your work is!"

More Students Testimonials!

"I really enjoyed the course. I found the tools that you provided most useful with all my patients and every time I use them.

I appreciated [how the content] dovetails with Alex Katehakis’ Sex Addiction As Affect Dysregulation which I’m currently finishing, and the concept of the therapist being in Self in Internal Family Systems (IFS).  I love it when everything converges."

-- Gord McCauley, MD, CSAT


I thoroughly enjoyed the new approach/mindset around Female Sex and Love Addiction. It felt safe, validating, humbling and practical/applicable.  

--Jade Seabrook, MA, RCC, BRI   


My expectations of learning much about current methods and personal experiences you would share to help female sex addicts in therapy were met and exceeded!  So many of your power points were pieces I immediately applied and want to learn more about!  I picked up several books you mentioned and look forward to reading and incorporating their ideas.  

I feel more relaxed about my therapy method being helpful and that I have some good ideas to blend with yours to use successfully.  A Zoom course is super helpful: 90% as good as being in the room with all of the students and the instructor, yay!  And it was more diverse, fun, and helpful than I could have imagined!

 --Denise Quirk, MA   


I was honestly tickled pink with all the handouts! They were all so thoroughly constructed and purpose-built. I'm not sure I expected tools, but I am so grateful for them! 

--Alexandra Martin MS, NCC, LPCA, ASAT
