ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

When I first began offering Three-Day Intensives that focused on restoring relationships damaged by sex addiction, I did not realize how many couples would want to participate in these programs. For many years I did my best to accommodate as many couples as my schedule would allow. But one therapist cannot meet the needs of all couples. Additionally, I realized that unless I trained other therapists in my treatment model, the Hope & Freedom Intensive Program would end whenever my career comes to an end.

Over the past several years, I have trained a small number of outstanding therapists to become Certified Hope & Freedom Practitioners (CHFP). I looked for deeply skilled sex addiction therapists who would come to Houston and learn my treatment model while working with several couples in Hope & Freedom Intensives. What I did not expect was how much I was going to learn from this group. I sit in awe of them and of their commitment to help couples restore their relationships. In every case, the teacher became a student during the training.

I have read glowing success stories from many couples who attest that their relationships have been saved by CHFPs. Each week these incredible therapists are giving couples a second chance. I am privileged to be associated with them. Rather than list them all here, I would encourage you to go to www.FindACHFP.com to read about them and their work.

Publishers can make or break authors. I want to thank all of the talented and dedicated people at Central Recovery Press for their work and commitment to this project. This is my second book with CRP and I am finding again that working with them has been an absolute pleasure. From my first contact with Executive Editor Nancy Schenck, to the guidance of Eliza Tutellier and Valerie Killeen, to the marketing genius of Patrick Hughes, and especially to the many hours of work with my gifted editor, Dan Mager, I have been privileged to be able to associate with the best publishing team anywhere.
