Description

Emotional affairs, cybersex, OnlyFans, Ashley Madison. Betrayal is only a click away.

Far too often it’s shrugged off as harmless…it’s not “real” infidelity. But even when there’s no physical contact, even though it’s all happening online, let’s call it what it is – cheating.

And when clients are in your office, the work comes with all the real emotions and messiness of broken trust, confusion, and heartache.

That’s why if you work with couples you need this specialized training.

You’ll watch expert Dr. Tenille Richardson-Quamina. She’s a certified sex addictions Therapist and Gottman Level 1 trained therapist. After her own personal experience, she’s spent thousands of hours researching, training, and creating unique tools that will help you empower your clients to disconnect to reconnect.

And now in this training she’ll share the very best therapeutic tools from Gottman Method, CBT, Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and more so you can confidently manage the intricate dynamics that online infidelity introduces into the therapeutic space.

You’ll end this program ready to:

  • Navigate rebuilding trust and overcoming denial
  • Uncover how online personas shape self-perception and the capacity to cheat
  • Strengthen commitment with clear boundaries for privacy and online conduct
  • Support partners in restoring their self-worth and confidence following digital betrayal
  • And much more!

And with exercises, scripts, intake assessment questions, worksheets and more you’ll have everything you need to get started.

This is such a common issue but is rarely addressed. If you work with couples, this is one training you can’t afford to miss.
