Candeo calls its training Six Weeks to Freedom and divides it into four parts — discovery, transformation, connection and enjoyment.

Those four parts are:

Discovery: After identifying the power that comes from the individual's personal motives, students create a "dream board" to determine what they would like their lives to be. Students address how they got where they are and are taught about the obsessive-compulsive cycle.

Transformation: Students are taught to break the obsessive-compulsive cycle with a "face-it-replace-it-connect" concept. They are also taught how to deal with setbacks.

Connection: Students are introduced to the concept of "sacred sexuality" and taught to re-label "making love" to "expressing full commitment." They are also taught to view women in healthy ways.

Enjoyment: Students are taught about the brain's "simple addiction" to the neurochemicals released by pornography use and how to interrupt the triggers that cause the brain to seek pornography. Students are also taught to bring simple, healthy pleasure back into their lives.
