The Sex Addiction Podcast For High-achievers and Entrepreneurs

Even the best communicators will be challenged when recovering from sexual betrayal. Fear, anger, resentment, injustice, a lack of trust… This is not a great container for grounded conversation. But this is reality, and you’re going to need to learn how to navigate it as a couple. Too often, couples recovering from infidelity heal in isolation but fight together. The problem is that healing happens together… not apart. On this episode, I’m joined by Dani Peterson. She works with betrayed partners and couples in recovery. She and I discuss the difficulties that couples face when communicating post-betrayal. For those of you interested in working with Dani, she has offered our listeners a FREE 30 minute consultation.

In this episode, I’m joined by Certified Sex Addiction Specialist Dr. Janie Lacy. In this episode, we cover: The difference between a sex addict and a chronic cheater. How the treatment is different for each person depending on why they have been unfaithful. Successful male culture and how women have been objectified How betrayed partners can determine what it means for them if their husband is a chronic cheater rather than a sex addict Dr. Janie Lacy works with professional women who continue to choose emotionally unavailable partners. If you want to explore working with her, you can visit her website here: https://www.janielacy.com/ If you have not yet read my book, I speak to compulsive sexual behavior as a process addiction rather than a sex addiction.

The thought processes that successful men are addicted to are different than those of the general population. High-achieving men have developed many skills that help them in business, but can often make sex addiction recovery a bit more complicated. In this episode, I discuss why sex addiction is often different for successful men, and what they will need to do differently if they plan to achieve long-term recovery and avoid relapse. For many high-achievers, their addiction involves seeking attention, risk, excitement, novelty, superiority, power, control, and feeling wanted or desired. Each of these mental processes will need to be addressed in your sex addiction recovery plan. I talk about this in great detail in my book: “The High-Achievers Guide To Sex Addiction Recovery.” You can find it here, both in paper copy and on Audible: https://a.co/d/0j6eRiQR If you are a high-achiever, business owner, executive, or entrepreneur and you are looking for a recovery group full of like-minded men, visit my website here: https://successfuladdict.com/

Healing your marriage after sexual betrayal is a painful, chaotic, and confusing time for couples. The good news is that there are predictable phases that most couples go through along the road to repair. In this episode, I am joined by Matthey and Joanna Raabsmith. They have developed a model that helps couples heal after betrayal.  Their model follows three phases of healing. Each phase requires a different relational dynamic to facilitate connection, safety, and trust. In this podcast episode, we discuss all three in detail to help couples ensure that they are honoring the nuances of each phase. Sex addiction and healing a marriage post-infidelity can be overwhelming. Having a model that you can reference is often very helpful to ensure that you are doing all you can to recover.

If you are more than 6 months into your sex addiction recovery, you should listen to this episode. When men first begin their recovery journey, they have no idea what to do or how this happened. So, why would you assume that you have developed the best recovery and sobriety plan? It’s always a good idea to revisit your recovery plan and make sure that it will work. The sex addiction relapse rate is very high. But it doesn't need to be. In this episode, I will talk about how to reexamine your recovery plan and make sure you’re not missing anything that will cause you to relapse down the road.
