Sex & Porn Addiction & Betrayal Trauma Workshops

Sex & Porn Addiction & Betrayal Trauma Workshops

Structured, supportive spaces for recovery, understanding, and healing

When you’re living with the impact of sex or porn addiction, whether personally or within a relationship, it can feel overwhelming trying to make sense of everything on your own.

Many people find themselves stuck between wanting things to change and not knowing where to begin.

Our workshops are designed to offer a calmer, more supported space to step back, understand what’s happening, and begin moving forward in a way that feels manageable.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before attending.

A Different Kind of Support

Workshops offer something slightly different to weekly counselling or support groups.

They provide:

  • A more structured space for reflection and learning
  • Time away from day-to-day pressures
  • Psychoeducation to help make sense of patterns and behaviours
  • Opportunities for guided reflection and discussion
  • Practical tools to support recovery and emotional regulation

For many people, workshops help things begin to feel clearer and more understandable.

Workshops for Individuals and Partners

We offer workshops for:

Some workshops focus on understanding addiction and recovery, while others focus more on betrayal trauma, emotional stabilisation, boundaries, and rebuilding a sense of self.

What Happens in a Workshop?

Each workshop is slightly different, but sessions may include:

  • Psychoeducational teaching
  • Guided reflective exercises
  • Small group discussion
  • Emotional regulation and grounding techniques
  • Practical recovery tools and strategies
  • Space for questions and shared understanding

The pace is thoughtful and supportive. There is never pressure to share more than feels comfortable.

What is a Betrayal Trauma Workshop?

Betrayal trauma workshops are designed for partners affected by sex or porn addiction.

These workshops help people to:

  • Understand trauma responses and hypervigilance
  • Make sense of overwhelming emotions
  • Reconnect with their own needs and boundaries
  • Reduce isolation and self-blame
  • Feel more grounded and emotionally stable

Can Workshops Help with Sex or Porn Addiction?

Workshops can be a valuable part of recovery.

They help people to better understand:

  • The addiction cycle
  • Triggers and patterns
  • Shame and secrecy
  • Emotional regulation
  • Relationship impact
  • Recovery and relapse prevention

For some people, workshops become a starting point. For others, they sit alongside counselling or group support.

Workshops Alongside Counselling

Workshops are not a replacement for therapy, but they can work very well alongside it.

Many people attend workshops while also engaging in:

Together, these approaches can create a more supported and sustainable recovery process.

  • People struggling with sex or porn addiction
  • Partners experiencing betrayal trauma
  • Couples affected by secrecy, disclosure, or loss of trust
  • People wanting structured support and understanding
