Description

In this episode, we explore the complex impact of sex addiction on relationships, focusing on the grief, loss, and emotional struggles faced by betrayed partners. Unlike addictions to substances like alcohol or drugs, sexual betrayal carries unique challenges, affecting both the addict and their partner on deeply personal levels.



We discuss:



Understanding the addict’s unconscious drives and needs



The partner’s journey through grief, anger, and healing



How empathy and deconstructing behavior can aid recovery



Resources like Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and sexual anorexia support groups



The delicate process of navigating emotional and sexual boundaries in a relationship



If you or someone you know is dealing with betrayal trauma, sex addiction, or sexual anorexia, this discussion offers guidance, resources, and insights to begin the healing process.
