Identity over behavior. Displacing lies with truth, Spirit-led transformation, and restoring purpose so change lasts.
Five trigger spheres, seven trigger types, 8-stage relapse cycle, prevention tools, boundaries/consequences, and betrayed-partner stabilization.
Stress regulation, disclosure models (paced and safe), post-disclosure care plans, recovery teams, coach/client expectations, and cross-gender boundary wisdom.

This manual provides a comprehensive, Christian-based framework for understanding and coaching sexual addiction. It explores definitions, warning signs, and the impact of romantic relationships on recovery while emphasizing biblical principles such as fidelity, honesty, and integrity. Key topics include fetish cycling, marital recovery, common relational pitfalls, and the difference between honesty and transparency in disclosure. Practical tools are offered for relapse prevention, boundary-setting, and self-care, alongside advanced frameworks like ACED, BROACH, and the Phoenix Model for disclosure. The manual also addresses the role of recovery teams, how to vet professionals, and the ethical considerations unique to faith-based coaching.
In addition to the core Christian Sex Addiction Coaching Training, you’ll also receive the full Relapse Prevention Training that equips you with the advanced skills every recovery coach needs. Relapse is not a single event; it’s a process. This training gives you the tools to intervene early, stop the cycle, and build long-term strategies that work in the real world.
Session One:
Discover why the “abstinence-only” model fails so many and learn how to approach relapse prevention with a flexible, client-centered strategy. You’ll cover harm reduction vs. abstinence, chronic relapse patterns, the science of triggers, and how to build aftercare plans that truly stick.
Session Two:
Move from theory to action with practical tools for identifying triggers, rewriting limiting beliefs, and creating relapse prevention plans. You’ll also learn how to manage trauma, structure daily routines, and guide families through the emotional and behavioral patterns that fuel relapse.
Session Three:
Dive into the three stages of relapse—emotional, mental, and physical—while learning how brain chemistry impacts recovery. You’ll explore cognitive reframing, boundary-setting, exercise, nutrition, and neurochemical repair strategies that restore balance and reduce relapse risk.
Learn how to integrate (or critique) 12-step programs as one part of a holistic recovery plan. You’ll explore alternative pathways, individualized strategies, and the philosophy of relapse prevention as a multi-layered system—combining coaching, community, structure, nutrition, and faith.
Gain a deep understanding of ethical responsibilities, including confidentiality, professional standards, report writing, case management, and legal compliance across state lines. Through practical scenarios, action planning, and guidance on boundaries, trust-building, and communication, participants learn to navigate complex ethical situations confidently.
Like any respected accredited program, your training concludes with a comprehensive final examination designed to validate your mastery of the material. Passing this exam isn’t just a formality — it’s the moment you prove, both to yourself and to the field, that you are prepared to practice at the highest standard. Unlike most institutions, we don’t tack on hidden fees. Your exam, grading, and official certification are fully included in your tuition.
Upon passing your exam, you'll get exclusive marketing seals and the right to use the NCCSAC designation, showcasing your expertise and credibility as a Certified Christian Sex Addiction Coach. Enhance your professional profile, attract clients, and stand out in the coaching field.

A Christian Sex Addiction Coach is a faith-based professional trained to help individuals and couples break free from cycles of pornography, infidelity, compulsive sexual behaviors, and the shame that surrounds them. Christian Sex Addiction Coaches integrate biblical principles with practical recovery tools—such as trigger mapping, relapse prevention strategies, and structured disclosure models—to guide clients toward spiritual freedom, relational restoration, and lasting change.
Yes. The certification is designed to complement your existing role, whether you serve in a treatment center, a private clinical practice, or a church ministry. It equips you with faith-based coaching tools that integrate seamlessly alongside therapy, pastoral care, or recovery programs—giving you a practical, biblically grounded framework to support individuals and families struggling with sexual addiction.
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health disorders, often focusing on past trauma. A Christian Sex Addiction Coach doesn’t replace therapy—they provide forward-focused support rooted in accountability, Scripture, and practical tools. Many clients benefit from having both: a therapist for clinical care and a coach for daily application and spiritual growth.
Pastors provide spiritual counsel and shepherding, but most aren’t trained specifically in the dynamics of sexual addiction. A Christian Sex Addiction Coach bridges that gap, offering biblically sound yet highly practical coaching tools that help individuals and couples address the patterns, triggers, and relational fallout of addiction—while honoring pastoral guidance and church values.
Nope. This certification is designed for coaches, mentors, educators, parents, and people with lived experience—no clinical degree or license needed. As long as you’re committed to helping others grow, and move forward, this program will give you the tools and credential to do it.
Earnings vary depending on your location, niche, and business model, but most certified coaches charge $75–$200 per session or anywhere from $997–$3,000+ for structured programs. Some expand into group coaching, couples intensives, workshops, or church partnerships, which can significantly increase income potential. Many graduates recover their training investment with their very first client, and those who build a private practice or partner with ministries often generate sustainable, full-time income while making a lasting impact in their communities.
Most students complete the training and earn their certification in 8 to 10 weeks. You’ll have access to on-demand video modules, plus 10 weeks of live mentorship, so you can move at your own pace with expert guidance along the way.
