How the course works

60 podcasts guide you through the 6 steps of recovery. And the interactive digital workbook provides the space to reflect on your journey and personalise the content to your individual situation.

Each podcast lasts 10-20 minutes and we recommend spending a further 30 minutes completing the tailored exercises in your workbook. All materials are instantly accessible for as long as you need them, so you can choose the pace that's best for you.

Based on over a decade’s research and therapeutic experience with thousands of men and women. Pivotal Recovery is not a sobriety course, but a recovery course. This will change your life, not just your habits. A serious, sex-positive, inclusive solution for problematic sexual behaviours.

You invest the time – we provide a lasting solution

"Pivotal has been a fantastic tool to help guide me through the recovery process. I am now more confident and assured in myself and the way I want to lead my life"

_

"This was a well-structured, informative, and pragmatic course whether as an introduction to recovery or as a complementary programme to other recovery paths (eg 12 Step). It is affordable, and represents great value for money. I found it accessible, manageable (in terms of time commitment) while still being challenging, insightful, and informed."

_

"Do it!! It will be a huge help to anyone with an addiction to sex or porn All information is easy to understand, but detailed at the same time."

_

"I have accessed support in the past to try address my acting out behaviours when they resulted in me hitting my rock bottom moment. I did greatly reduce my acting out but never fully stopped. The course has given me the extra tools and knowledge to finally stop after all these years".

_

"I have learned so much from the Pivotal course which has greatly helped me to stop acting out and maintained me stopping. I can now see a brighter future for myself, something which I haven't felt for a long time."

About us

Not everyone is able to access the specialist expertise they need to beat sex and porn addiction. Location, cost and time commitments mean many aren't able to benefit from vital psycho-educational interventions.

Renowned sex and relationship psychotherapist and author, Dr Paula Hall had a vision of making her core recovery treatments available to a wider audience for years...

...as a result, Pivotal Recovery CIC was founded as a not-for-profit community interest company dedicated to providing research-based, academically robust and tested low-cost recovery services for people struggling with pornography addiction, sex addiction and compulsive sexual behaviours.

Join Our Free Pilot Study

You can access the complete Pivotal Recovery Programme absolutely free. We're partnering with Leeds Trinity University on a pilot study to better understand how users engage with the programme and to objectively assess the amazing results and feedback we're getting.

What's the catch? In exchange for free access, we'll ask you to complete a series of surveys. It's still 100% confidential and anonymous, but it will take an extra 30 minutes or so of your time. Of course, if you'd prefer to skip the extra feedback, the course is available to purchase HERE.

You can find out more about the course on this website and register your interest below. But don't put it off for too long, spaces on the pilot study and limited.

If you're a student, please click HERE. The course content is the same but we have some specially tailored feedback forms for you.
