The Traditional Way of Seeing Addiction Can Harm You – Try This Instead

The Traditional Way of Seeing Addiction Can Harm You – Try This Instead

In the traditional way of overcoming addiction and restoring a marriage, the husbands is often seen as the bad guy. The message is that he is the problem, there’s something wrong with him, he’s in a one-down position and is less-than.

When he gets that message, he often feels discouraged, not good enough, and always in the hole, never able to heal and move forward. His wife often feels disconnected from him, very unsafe, and unable to bring her wall down.

There’s a much more empowering and effective way to see pornography addiction recovery, healing trauma, and restoring the marriage.

In this episode I share with you some specific examples that can help you see and experience interactions with your spouse differently, which can help you to move forward and beyond the pain instead of feeling manipulated, not good enough, and unloved.
