Here's What We're Covering

If you work with clients experiencing compulsive sexual behaviour, you know it's rarely straightforward. Traditional frameworks often fall short of capturing the full picture — the shame, the attachment wounds, the relational patterns underneath. That's where Shame Containment Theory™ comes in. This isn't just another theory to add to your shelf. SCT is grounded in rigorous PhD research and tested in real clinical practice. Over these 3 hours, you'll explore how shame, containment, and attachment injuries interact to shape CSB, and you'll discover how to use these insights to transform your clinical work. We'll start with the fundamentals of SCT — its key principles and how it stands apart from existing approaches. Then we'll dive into the research findings that show what actually drives CSB development and maintenance. Finally, we'll focus on the practical stuff: how to assess, formulate, and intervene using this framework. You'll have time to ask questions, reflect on how this applies to your own clients, and leave with fresh conceptual tools that deepen your understanding and sharpen your clinical responses
