EMS Weekend Retreats

Three days can change your life.

An intensive weekend seminar that stabilizes your relationship after an affair.

The Emergency Marital Seminar (EMS) answers each partner’s questions and provides viable solutions to your crisis. If your response to infidelity is typical, then you have already experienced many of the challenges associated with working through a betrayal. The EMS weekend helps you gain perspective of where you’re at in recovery and what needs to be done.

The weekend is conducted by Rick Reynolds, LCSW, founder of Affair Recovery, Crossroads Counseling, and creator of the 911 Marriage [EMS Online] curriculum. Rick has specialized in treating infidelity for over twenty years and has helped over 2,000 couples struggling with infidelity.

After the weekend, the EMS follow-up program provides both support and guidance for at least a year after the seminar. You will continue to meet with your group weekly by phone to work at implementing new behaviors and assure that you and your spouse continue in your healing journey.

Hurt spouses will discover:

• An understanding of what went wrong and why

• How to control intrusive thoughts

• How to talk to your partner and develop a healthy relationship

• A new sense of trust and safety

• How to move on with a new sense of peace and hope

Unfaithful spouses will learn:

• Ways to successfully communicate your sincere regret

• An increased connection with your mate

• Ways to help your mate heal and feel more secure

• Ways to let go of your shame and move on

• New boundaries that help restore trust

• Ways to prevent relapse

The program is particularly helpful for couples:

• Who are gridlocked over their need to move forward
• Where the cheating spouse is having difficulty breaking away from the affair partner
• Where the hurt spouse is having difficulty believing their mate
• Where the infidelity was in the past, but the couple has never been able to move on

Upcoming EMS dates:
