Sections in the program
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The aim of this section is to explore your own motives for seeking rehabilitation, and to set meaningful goals for your future.
1-6 UNDERSTANDING AND EXERCISING
Sections 1-6 examines why people use CSAM and how different internal and external factors can lead you to use CSAM. These factors make up a path that leads you to use CSAM.
The aim of this section is for you to understand the factors, motivations, reasons, situations, and triggers that lead you to use CSAM.

Scheduling your time
We recommend that you start by thinking about how and when you want to complete this program. The program will take at least a few days or weeks to complete, depending on how quickly you work through it. It is best to work on it in small sections, and not rush through the exercises.
Try to schedule 10 minutes every day when you will work through the exercises. If this does not seem feasible in your life, you can try to do 30 minutes on one day every week.
Think about your current situation and what is realistic when determining how much to work on the program each week. The more specific you make your plan (i.e. choosing an exact date and time), the more it will help you stay on track with the program. Once you have decided your schedule, write it down in your diary and set an alarm to remind yourself to work on the exercises.
Completing the exercises
In addition to the information, the program includes a lot of exercises. Try to complete each exercise, but if you find any of the exercises too difficult, move on to the next one and return to it later when you feel up to it. It is not so important to complete each exercise fully, what is important is that you start.
For many exercises you will be asked to write down your answers on paper. We recommend this method as it is proven to help with learning and will help you to process your thoughts and feelings. If you don’t feel comfortable writing down your answers on paper, you can also write them down digitally on your computer on phone.
This is also a tool for professionals
This can be used as a whole or in parts to support groups or individual meetings.
