Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction

172: When He Starts Making Progress, She Gets Scared He’ll Fall Back


Listen Later

Sometimes when a husband is making good progress personally and in the relationship, his wife has fears and doubts:

“How can I know that he’s telling the truth?”

“What if he’s just gotten better at hiding it?”

“it's scary to bring down my wall because I don't wanna get hurt again…”

This can be discouraging for both people, especially if a husband really is doing well.

He can feel deflated and hopeless thinking that there’s nothing he can do to make things better.

In this episode, I share with you specifically how to handle these situations and how you can build safety in a way that eases the fears and discouragement that both people can feel.

 

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.
