Relapse Prevention Navigator Training
About the Training
We believe that relapse is a process and not an event and as such can be identified, intervened on and prevented! This belief has enabled us to bring you therapeutic tools that will enable you to provide more than inspiration to those who are at risk of or are recovering from relapse.
This Relapse Prevention Navigator Training™ is built around a simple but critical premise; the decision one makes to return to active addiction comes at the end of a series of unsuccessful attempts to cope with cognitive, emotional, physical or spiritual discomfort. Since an addict returns to a “drug of choice” to change a feeling state, a successful relapse prevention plan will need to intervene on sources of discomfort and build healthy adaptive coping strategies.

Shawn’s lifelong exposure to the recovery culture and his personal recovery experience has left him with a deep personal empathy for the social and emotional suffering endured by others and a strong faith in a person’s ability to change. He has received his certification as a Sexual Addiction Therapist and as a Multiple Addictions Therapist by the International Institute for Trauma & Addiction Professionals.
