140: When Shame and "Self Pity" Dissolves Connection and Breaks Down the Conversation

Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction

How do the conversations go when you talk about her pain?

Do they end with you feeling closer or further apart? Do you feel hopeless and inadequate, not knowing what to say to help her feel comforted?

For a wife, not getting the understanding and validation she needs creates hurt and anger, and the conversations just stall out leaving them both alone.

In this episode I share with you one of the main reasons why that happens and 2 things you can implement to change that dynamic.

For therapy with Sam:

I will work with you for 12 weeks to help you eliminate pornography use and the root cause that started it.

If after the 12 weeks you haven’t fully been able to quit, I’ll work with you 1-1 for free until you do.

Go to stopporn.info for more information about working with me directly.
