Sex Addiction: Preparing for the Tidal Wave (13.5 CEU’s)
A two day conference of workshops on June 21 and 22, 2013 in Victoria, BC
presented by Recovery Path Counselling
Sex addiction is a rising concern in our society. With easy access to online pornography, chat rooms, dating and webcam sites, an increasing number of people from all strata of society are developing unhealthy addictive relationships to sex and its advertisement. This has often tragic consequences for relationships, families, and societies, affecting not only the addicted person, but also the people around them. Despite this rising tide of concern, therapists who work with this population are often ill equipped with clinical tools to help them towards abstinence, recovery and healing.
In this unique, experiential, 'hands-on' conference, participants will be engaged by some of the leading minds and practitioners in this field -- Gabor Mate, Robert Weiss, Harville Hendrix and Cara Tripodi. Participants will learn practical skills to better equip them in working confidently with those challenged by love and sex addiction. A highlight of the conference is a Skype presentation by Dr. Norman Doidge author of The Brain That Changes Itself.
Please join us in beautiful Victoria, BC, for this 2 day seminal conference and better equip yourself to address this rising tide in your own practice! See the brochure at www.recoverypath.ca.
