EMS (Emergency Marital Seminar) Weekend is an onsite, three-day intensive experience for couples recovering from an affair that is designed to cover more ground faster than its EMS Online counterpart. Spouses who have been betrayed learn to recognize the trauma and shock of the affair, why it’s not their fault, and how to communicate with the unfaithful partner what they’re going through by creating a plan of recovery to deal with difficult emotions, building trust and safety, restoring intimacy, and processing various layers of forgiveness. Spouses who have been unfaithful experience an environment of safety where shame is not a tool of recovery. Unfaithful partners learn skills of empathy, authentically communicating sincere remorse, and letting go of shame.
