Surrogate Partner Therapy
Over the past twenty years, the ICASA Ten-Step Recovery Programme has enabled hundreds of men and women to gain control of their sexual responses, establish healthy relationships and lead full and satisfying sex lives. This is made possible through a skilled and highly sensitive professional team at the Centre for ICASA that includes the Principal, ICASA therapists, ICASA mentors and ICASA Surrogate Partners.
SURROGATE PARTNERS
ICASA Surrogate Partners are distinguished by their genuine desire to help people together with a deep connection with their own sexuality. They are extraordinary people; able to give of themselves emotionally and physically in order to help others to heal and fulfil their full sexual potential.The relationship with a Surrogate Partner is a time-limited relationship with identified boundaries. It is, however, an authentic relationship for the purposes of resolving the client's presenting complaint. The full range of emotional feeling and connection at an intimate level is experienced. This is the essential aspect of the healing process. Both client and Surrogate Partner are aware of the eventual closure to the therapeutic relationship and are prepared well in advance for the closure session, which remains a precious and very positive experience.
A Surrogate Partner may, or may not, be a client's ideal in terms of age, physical appearance, background or personality. In order to fully benefit from therapy it is not necessary for the client to feel attracted to the Surrogate Partner as would be expected in a 'dating' relationship and a Surrogate Partner is not intended to be a substitute for a committed relationship. A genuine connection easily and quickly develops through the environment of acceptance and genuine intimacy. ICASA Surrogate Partners are highly trained to help clients through this sensitive and vulnerable stage of their lives. They are an invaluable part of the ICASA therapy team, which is totally committed to the client's sexual healing and happiness.
Great care goes into the selection of Surrogate Partners. Training and supervision is continuous. Although there are no specific academic qualifications required of a Surrogate Partner, there are some very specific qualities and life experiences which are essential. A positive relationship with one's own body, sexuality, warmth, compassion, empathy, trust and non-judgmental attitudes towards others are vital characteristics.
The Centre for ICASA is a member of the International Professional Surrogates Association (IPSA).
'A Surrogate Partner is a member of a three-way therapeutic team (supervising therapist, client and surrogate partner) who acts as a partner to a sexually dysfunctional client in the therapy programme and participates in experiential practices involving sensual and sexual touching as well as social and sexual skills training'.
Vena Blanchard, President of IPSA
