Your Roadmap to Recovery

A Recommended Course Sequence from Hope & Freedom University

About the Journey

Recovery from sex addiction and betrayal trauma is not a single event—it’s a journey. And like any journey, it helps to have a map.

At Hope & Freedom University, we’re building a full catalog of trauma-informed, expert-developed courses to walk with you through every phase of recovery—from the very first steps of survival all the way to long-term growth, healing, and freedom.

This course sequence is designed to help individuals struggling with problematic sexual behavior, betrayed partners, and couples in recovery know what to focus on and when.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to take the next step, our growing library of resources offers the structure, guidance, and support you need at your own pace.
