Two-week sex and porn addiction intensive in Israel, in English
When an hour a week isn’t enough, give it two weeks.
Maybe weekly therapy has stalled. You understand a lot about why you do it, and you still do it. Maybe your wife just found out and the marriage is hanging by a thread. Maybe your job, your license or your family is on the line and you need to start showing, to her and to yourself, that this time is different.
An intensive is two weeks of focused recovery work instead of one session squeezed between everything else. You step out of your routine, away from the same phone, the same triggers and the same excuses, and you do the work with real attention.
What the two weeks may include
Every intensive is built from scratch around you. Depending on what you need, it may include:
- A full assessment at the start, so the plan fits what’s really going on
- Individual sessions with me, digging into what drives the behavior
- Recovery coaching and skills work you’ll use for years
- Couples sessions, if your wife or partner is part of it
- Accountability check-ins
Every intensive ends with a written aftercare plan, so you leave knowing exactly what the next year looks like.
Why come to Israel for it
Distance helps. Two weeks away from home gives you room to face this without your usual life pulling at you. Your schedule, your phone habits and your excuses all stay back home. Sessions are in person in Ramat Beit Shemesh, entirely in English.
If you’re Orthodox, you won’t have to explain yourself, and you’re never far from a minyan or a kosher meal. If you’re not, that’s completely fine. The work is the same.
Who it’s right for
- Weekly therapy has stalled and the behavior keeps coming back
- There’s been a discovery and you need a serious response, now
- Your partner has given you an ultimatum
- Something big is at stake: a marriage, a job, a professional license
- You want privacy and focus away from your everyday life
If drinking or drugs mean you need medical detox first, or you need more care than an outpatient intensive can give, I’ll tell you that honestly on our first call.
After the two weeks
The intensive is the start, not the whole thing. Most people continue with me in online sessions afterward: at least weekly for the first year, and many twice a week. The aftercare plan keeps the momentum you built from fading once you’re home.
