WHAT IS THE COST & HOW DOES IT WORK?
Cost is $59 per session. Sessions progress in alternating sequence. The educational and creative therapeutic exercise that requires the client’s engagement is completed at home (or any remote location). It is written and mailed to the client’s therapist ($59). The therapist responds with one-to-one half-hour telephone session for follow up insights, monitoring of progress, and integration of the tool(s) presented in the session ($59). Those without computer access can use mail correspondence followed by the telephone session. If absolutely necessary, those in remote areas or prison who are without either computer or phone access can utilize mail-to-mail correspondence.
Once a comfortable and helpful therapeutic alliance is formed between client and therapist, the relationship can continue beyond the structured sessions presented here.
How the Program Works
It begins with purchase of a computer download (print out) of a therapeutic task to be performed at home. These engaging “tasks” involve the client in reading, experiencing, and writing about the material, which includes new tools and strategies to be chosen and integrated. The fully completed materials are mailed to the therapist. The ensuing telephone session with a trained compulsive sex therapist is used to review and systematically effect both cognitive and behavioral change. New competencies for dealing with impulses are learned and implemented as the therapist guides, monitors and coaches the client’s progress. Ask anyone who has hired a trainer: this process works! The implementation of “task-oriented” skills coupled with one-to-one scrutiny of an exacting, “trainer-like” over-seer is a proven way to alter behavior.
