Hosted by John Sternfels, National Board-certified counselor, author, and clinical director of NorthPoint Professional Counseling, this episode dives deep into one of the most essential—and often misunderstood—tools in healing from betrayal: Why a Therapeutic Disclosure.

John brings nearly two decades of experience helping individuals and couples navigate the pain of sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and broken trust. In this episode, he explores:

  • Why a Therapeutic Disclosure
  • Why Many Betraying Partners Become Hesitant To Comply
  • When it Should Take Place
  • How It Benefits Both the Disclosure and the Betrayed Partner
  • Why Structured Disclosures Foster Genuine Healing and Rebuild Trust

 Whether you're the partner in pain, the one seeking to make amends, or a professional supporting others on this journey, this episode offers critical insights, practical steps, and compassionate guidance.
