THE SCARS MODEL™
Recovery Coach Certification
Women struggling with pornography and other unwanted sexual behaviors need more than accountability or behavior management. They need someone who understands why they struggle and how to walk alongside them toward lasting healing.
The SCARS Model™ Recovery Coach Certification is a comprehensive 12-week training experience facilitated by Crystal Renaud Day, Founder of SheRecovery and a pioneer in women’s pornography and sexual addiction recovery.
Built around her groundbreaking new book and informed by psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, Christian faith, and the lived experiences of thousands of women, this certification equips counselors, coaches, ministry leaders, and women called to serve to help women address the deeper emotional, relational, identity, trauma, and spiritual factors that often drive unwanted sexual behaviors.
Drawing from nearly two decades of ministry, coaching, counseling, research, and the stories of thousands of women from more than 70 countries, Crystal will personally equip you with the framework she has developed to help women understand what drives unwanted sexual behaviors and how lasting healing occurs.

Be Among the First to Experience What Drives Women to Porn?
As part of this certification, you’ll receive exclusive early access to What Drives Women to Porn? Why Women Struggle Sexually—and How to Heal before its public release on September 15, 2026.
Rather than simply reading the book on your own, you’ll study it alongside Crystal Renaud Day as she personally teaches the concepts, answers questions, and demonstrates how its principles are applied through The SCARS Model™ in real recovery coaching.
You’ll not only gain a deeper understanding of what drives women’s unwanted sexual behaviors, but you’ll also learn how to translate those insights into practical, compassionate coaching that helps women pursue lasting healing.
What is The SCARS Model™?
The SCARS Model™ is Crystal Renaud Day’s practical recovery framework, first introduced in her book Dirty Girls Come Clean and continually refined through nearly two decades of ministry, coaching, counseling, research, and walking alongside thousands of women seeking freedom from pornography and other unwanted sexual behaviors.
While What Drives Women to Porn? explains why women struggle, The SCARS Model™ provides a practical framework for helping women move toward lasting healing. Throughout the certification, participants will learn to confidently apply each stage of the model in real coaching relationships.
Participants will also receive a copy of 90 Days to Wholeness™, the companion devotional that helps readers personally experience and apply The SCARS Model™ through 90 days of Scripture, reflection, and practical recovery exercises.
