The D2C Experience, retreat style.
The Professionals
For over 5 years, Steve Moore (LCSW, CSAT, CPTT, CMAT) and Mark Kastleman (BCC, BCPC) have been delivering hope, healing, and insights to PBSE Podcast listeners and D2C subscribers around the globe. Drawing on over 40 years of their combined personal experience as addicts in long-term successful recovery from sexual addiction and as clinicians working with addicts, betrayed partners and coupleships all over the world, Steve and Mark deliver a healing experience unlike any other. In addition, therapist Jennilee Gunter (CSW), D2C's Partners Support Group facilitator, will be adding to what promises to be a truly enriching experience.
Their Spouses
In addition, Brittany Moore and Ladawn Kastleman, the spouses of Steve and Mark, will be assisting in and helping to facilitate groups and sessions. With a wealth of real-world knowledge and experience as betrayed partners in successful healing, Brittany and Ladawn offer unparalleled insight into the partners' recovery journey. With insight regarding every part of a spouse's recovery journey, their experience, paired in tandem with Steve and Mark's clinical guidance, creates a unique healing environment with insight and support rarely, if ever, seen in a clinical setting. You won't just learn about how an addict's, partner's, and a coupleship's recovery works from a clinical perspective - you will see it modeled and explained in real-time.
Throughout the weekend, we will have group experiences, discussions and presentations borrowing from a variety of analogies, concepts and therapeutic techniques to teach principles on a broad range of topics. In addition, these groups will often involve role plays between Steve, Mark, their spouses and Jennilee, as well as group members. We will process these experiences in a true therapeutic setting, far more intimate and individual than in the typical D2C virtual setting. This is a true clinical experience with your D2C hosts & others that typically only happens in their therapy practices.
