Preview: EMS Online 2nd Edition



Based on decades of experience addressing infidelity.

After three years of hard work, we’ve completely overhauled EMS Online to create one of the most well thought-out recovery courses in the world. We filmed thirteen incredible lectures with Rick, and twelve inspiring Mentor Couples who recall their journeys of healing, unscripted. So much video was going to be packed into this course that we moved offices and built our very own AR Studio to film it all.

Specialized tools promote healing


Expert Lectures

Affair Recovery’s methodology has years of experience behind it. Rick Reynolds, LCSW has specialized in working with couples after infidelity for 24 years and has personally worked with 2,500 couples. He has learned what works and what doesn’t work. EMS Online 2nd Edition presents the right lessons in the right order.


In-Depth Workbooks

The course comes with two 400 page workbooks which will be mailed to you in a plain box that does not say “Affair Recovery” anywhere on it. It will contain one workbook for the betrayed spouse and one for the unfaithful spouse. Each chapter covers one week of the course and contains lessons and practical exercises that you’ll discuss when you talk with your small group that week.

Hope from others gone before


Mentor Videos

When Mentors came to our studio, we filmed two things:
  • First their stories. Unscripted, inspiring journeys from the darkest of times, through healing, to their present lives of meaning.
  • Second the role that that week’s lesson played in their recovery journey. For example, Week 4’s lesson covers handling triggers and intrusive thoughts. Therefore, the Mentor Couple of Week 4 talk about the role that handling triggers and intrusive thoughts played throughout their recovery process.

Belong to a Small Group that gets what you’re going through

Taking this journey with a group provides the most powerful way to heal after infidelity. Many people after the course say they have new best friends who know them on a deeper level than anyone else.

They help us:
  • Build empathy
  • Break out of isolation
  • Validate our (seemingly crazy) emotions
  • Receive encouragement
