Testimonials
Working with Shawn has been the best thing to happen to the healing of my marriage in the 25 years since my first d-day.
Since he is also working with my husband as his IA coach, Shawn can see the whole picture and often identifies patterns I, maybe, haven't seen yet. He always validates my pain, patiently walks with me through the confusing parts and, unlike some of the counselors we'd worked with, Shawn has never made me feel like *I* was the problem.
Holding my husband accountable by firmly and clearly calling out his IA behaviors has been the absolute most helpful thing he has done, though! It turns out I'm not crazy after all!

Shawn is so passionate about helping people. I am an SA and IA and having Shawn in my life, in my corner, on my side, makes me feel more confident in my recovery journey. He encourages and challenges me when we talk. I truly feel safe with him and I am so blessed and fortunate to have him help me in so many aspects of my recovery and my life.

Shawn holds nothing back when it comes to accountability and has been so helpful! He asks the right questions and always has resources to help me think outside of the box. I thank God for his guidance in my recovery and his insight. He is always there to help when I need him, and he also challenges me to grow so I can overcome my addiction.

Shawn has been very helpful to my husband and I. He has unique techniques and perspectives, as well as his knowledge on abuse in addicts, which brings a more holistic approach to healing that is difficult to find. My husband has grown a lot in the short time that he has been working with Shawn, and that is due to the partner-sensitive and no-nonsense approach that he has. This has created more safety for me as a betrayed partner, but the best part has been finally feeling like someone for the addict side also seriously prioritizes the partners safety, and that is a level of support that I have never had experience with in the 8 years I have unfortunately been in this niche. I am seeing more internal changes in my husband recently than I have in the past 8 years. I am grateful for Shawn’s devotion to my husbands clarity and success, because it also makes a safer life for me.

Navigating through the complexities of recovery and personal growth requires more than just expertise—it demands passion, empathy, and a deep commitment to transformation. Shawn Addis embodies all these qualities and more, making him an exceptional intimacy anorexia coach. Before formalizing our coaching relationship, Shawn's support was invaluable, but it was through our official sessions that I truly experienced the depth of his commitment. Shawn isn't just performing a role; he's fulfilling a calling. His own journey through recovery infuses his approach with authenticity and profound insight, offering not just guidance but real companionship through the darkest tunnels. Throughout our time together, Shawn's dedication has been evident in every interaction. His approach goes beyond conventional coaching; it is a blend of care, compassion, understanding, and rigorous accountability that challenges you while ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. With Shawn's help, I am not just hoping but actively building towards becoming the man I was always meant to be—free from the shackles of my addictions. There is indeed light at the end of this tunnel, and thanks to Shawn, I am not just moving towards it; I am gaining the strength to reach it and step beyond into a new phase of life. Thank you, Shawn, for being more than a coach. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and a steadfast companion on this journey to recovery and self-discovery. I look forward to continuing this journey with you by my side, ensuring each step is taken with courage and clarity.
Sincerely, Thank you.

As a betrayed partner who has suffered through more than 6 years of feeling lost in various recovery methods, Beth and Shawn's approach to recovery is a breath of fresh air.
They are direct, honest, and thorough with their approach to bridging gaps in communication between partners, addicts, and coaches.
I have been able to make huge strides in my recovery because of their support.
I now have a solid grasp on the reality of my situation and am finally free of being stuck in constant trauma and depression. I feel validated, supported, and have clarity. I'm no longer a slave to conflict and confusion.
Thank you, Beth and Shawn, for the work you're doing! It's valuable beyond comprehension. You are both so appreciated! J.S.
I have been fortunate to have Shawn as my guide through my 12-step recovery journey.
His unwavering support and deep understanding of the process have been instrumental in my progress. Not only did he help me stay on track with the program, but he also offered insightful advice and guidance during some particularly challenging moments in my personal life, especially when it came to navigating difficult times when I needed to show up for my wife. His approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and rooted in genuine care for his clients’ well-being.
He has a remarkable ability to listen and provide the right perspective when needed. Thanks to his help, I’ve grown both in my recovery and in my personal relationships. I’m extremely grateful to have had him by my side.
