APSATS MPTM four-day training will:

Review prevailing models of treatment for partners of sexual addicts.

Introduce a unifying model for the treatment of partners.

Discuss the various traumatic effects surrounding sex addiction upon the partner.

Discuss treatment strategies and techniques.

Discuss assessment processes, and ongoing support necessary for successful trauma resolution for the partner and the relationship.

Training days 1 and 2 give an overview of the APSATS MPTM model and trauma. Training days 3 and 4 provide participants with information about how the faith provider can apply the model in their specific faith setting or application.

In addition to the four day training, participants are invited to join two "mentorship groups" (for a total of 4 hours) where they will continue the conversation and exploration of how best to apply the BTRL training information into their unique setting or population.
