Built by a clinical team that works with sex-addiction recovery every day.

 

This course comes out of the work clinicians do with people in recovery from compulsive sexual behavior — the same frameworks used in therapy, made free and self-paced so you can start the moment you are ready. It is the course we wished existed when clients first came looking for a way out, written by people who do this work and understand how hard, and how possible, change really is.

 

A confidential self-check A short, private Sex Addiction Assessment to help you see your own patterns clearly — no judgment, no sign-in.

 

Shame-free by design Recovery does not grow in shame. Every module is written to reduce shame and treat you as a whole person, not a problem.

 

Real research Each module is grounded in peer-reviewed research and established clinical frameworks — and names where the evidence is still emerging.

 

A 13-module course about breaking the cycle, understanding what is underneath it, and building change that lasts.

 

Each module covers one part of recovery in depth — what is happening in your brain, what it looks and feels like, why it took hold, and what actually helps you move forward.

 

Who this is for: the person in recovery — whether you are just starting to wonder if you have a problem, are early in sobriety, or have been at this a while and want a steadier path. Whether you have a diagnosis, a therapist, a fellowship, or none of those yet, you belong here. This is a place to learn, at your own pace, in your own privacy.

What happens inside a module.

 

Every module follows the same five-step arc. About 20–30 minutes, start to finish. Your answers save privately in your browser — no sign-in, and free.

 

1 Read the lesson The neuroscience and the human reality, in plain, shame-free language. Roughly 8–12 minutes of reading.

 

2 See what helps The practical part, right after the lesson — concrete recovery strategies you can use today, while the context is still fresh.

 

3 Watch the videos Short, well-matched videos that explain the ideas and let you hear from people who have walked this road.

 

4 Reflect with the screener A short, structured check-in — about 5 minutes — now that you have the context. It is a mirror for self-reflection, not a verdict or a diagnosis.

 

5 Do the workbook Short, specific prompts that turn the lesson into something you actually use. Your answers save privately to your browser — no sign-in — and you can keep a PDF.

 

Not sure if this is you?

 

Many people spend years wondering whether their behavior is really a problem. A short, private self-check can help you see your own patterns more clearly — and decide what you want to do next.

 

Take a confidential self-check

 

The Sex Addiction Assessment is a short, private questionnaire. It is a starting point for reflection — a mirror, not a verdict.

 

Or just start learning

 

You do not need a label to begin. Many people start with module 1 and let the course speak for itself.

In a crisis or emergency?

 

If you may harm yourself or someone else, or can’t stay safe, get urgent help now: in the US call 911 for immediate danger, or call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline); in the UK and Ireland call Samaritans on 116 123; elsewhere, use your local emergency number or crisis line. This program is educational, is not a substitute for care from a professional who knows you, does not create a therapist–client relationship, and is not monitored — no one sees what you write here.
