Partner Sensitive Recovery Plan
In this episode, Duane and Marnie will introduce and explain the fourth (other) circle and explore how it changes the treatment for both partners and promotes relational healing for couples impacted by betrayal trauma.
The Three Circle Plan originated from Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) and has been effective for years in helping sex addicts achieve and maintain sobriety. However, in a field that continues to evolve and move from a traditional addiction/codependent model to a partner trauma model, the absence of a fourth circle fails to acknowledge the others impacted by the addict’s recovery plan.
Introducing a fourth “other” circle invites the others impacted by an addict’s sobriety into his recovery plan and treatment from the very beginning.
I am not clear about this 4th circle … How is it implemented ?
Hi Rene,
Thanks for asking. We will try and do an episode or webinar on the topic. IT can be tough to cover all the details in some of this work.
Do you have any webinars that we can access? I’d love to see more details on this partner sensitive recovery plan. Thank you for all you are doing.
Hello Michelle,
Thank you for listening. We are working on creating some more online materials so they can be more accessible to everyone. Sign up for our email list so we can let you know when we release them.
