The Need Has Never Been Greater
As awareness grows around the profound impact of betrayal trauma and the complexity of relational healing, professionals are seeking specialized, research-based approaches that go beyond traditional modalities. The Couple–Centered Recovery® (CCR) model—developed by Dr. Jake Porter—is meeting that demand. Grounded in attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, affect regulation, and values-based self-activation, CCR is transforming how therapists, coaches, and clergy support couples navigating the fallout of betrayal. This training empowers professionals to become leaders in a growing movement that honors the healing potential of connection.
Hybrid Training Format for Greater Flexibility
Our updated training combines the convenience of on-demand online learning with the relational richness of live Zoom sessions, allowing you to learn at your own pace while still engaging in dynamic group experiences. No more waiting for scheduled events—your journey begins when you’re ready.
Level 1: Foundations of Couple–Centered Recovery®
$1150 | 8+ hours of video lessons + 5-hour live session
Ideal for therapists, coaches, and clergy new to the CCR model, Level 1 lays the groundwork for working with couples impacted by addiction and betrayal trauma. You’ll learn how to assess relational trauma, understand the neurobiological impact of betrayal, and apply CCR’s three-phase roadmap to rebuild trust, safety, and communication.
Level 2: Advanced Interventions and Transformation
$1850 | 20+ hours of video lessons + 9-hour live training (2 days)
Take a deeper dive into neurobiology, grief integration, and trauma-informed interventions. Level 2 equips you with more powerful tools for guiding couples through Phase Two (Grieving Together) and Phase Three (Rebuilding & Growth) of the CCR model. Topics include affective attunement, spiritual integration, and working with high-conflict or complex trauma dynamics.
Certification Pathway (Optional)
Those wishing to pursue the full Couple–Centered Recovery® Certification—as a coach or clinician—will complete advanced practicum work, team consultations, and case-based application of CCR principles.
