Today Carol the Coach interviews Lisa and Andrew Reichel from Room to Heal. Room to Heal  is a recovery residence in Charlotte, NC for men battling sex and addiction that breaks the mold of traditional sexual addiction recovery by offering men a more affordable option for immersive healing while providing intentional time apart for couples. They have a relationship-centered approach where both individuals receive coaching support while the addict is away and those coaches work as a team to keep the couple connected and safe in the relationship. Another unique aspect of the program is that the support doesn’t end when the addict returns home. Room to Heal will walk beside the couple through that transition and begin using the ERCEM method to process the anger and grief left by the betrayal.  Their goal, like ERCEM is to ultimately help their couples reach deeper levels of intimacy than they ever felt possible.

If you are considering a theraputic separation, feel stunted in your recovery as an individual or couple, listen up. This program might be your answer.

"The programming includes support for the partner and the relationship through the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM). Our goal is to help the addict build a rock-solid foundation for his recovery while guiding both individuals to the safety and healing needed to begin rebuilding the relationship."
