CMCS Workshops

CMCS counsellors are reminded that from 2018, in the three-yearly re-registration process, attending at least one Workshop in the previous three years will be expected.

Workshops in 2022 - Working with Sex and Pornography Addiction

Sex and porn addiction is not uncommon. It is thought to affect between 3% and 6% of the population (these statistics are from the USA but probably applicable to the UK as well). It is as common inside the church and among church leaders as outside. The shame felt by those struggling may be exacerbated when they are in church leadership roles. This workshop is aimed at counsellors working with church leaders. It will provide an introduction to the complex topic of sex and pornography addiction and how to work with those struggling. The day will explain addiction from a biopsychosocial perspective and explore various models of addiction formation and maintenance. This workshop will also provide some basic tools for working with such clients and their partners.
