Description
The AASAT Partners Recovery Training Course helps you understand partners of sex addicts and intimacy anorexics and help them heal from the addiction in their relationship. This course is 39 hours long and is geared for counseling professionals, coaches, and ministry partners who are interested in becoming certified in the field of partner’s treatment. Partners recovery is one of the least understood concepts of addiction therapy and not many addiction counselors even acknowledge it.

This unique combination helps you understand both theoretical and practical techniques for treating partners of sex addicts.
This course is a remote, self-paced training program. This flexibility allows you to work through the material at your own pace. You can complete the Partner Recovery Training anywhere you have access to the internet.
The Partners Recovery Training also counts toward 39 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and you receive a certificate of completion after completing the coursework.

Just as the IA and SA Course, phenomenal material and packed with practical information necessary to be of service to a Partner of an addict. The historical context between current models was very instructive and helps delineate the differences. Excellent resource for anyone who is, or will be, working with Partners.
