Hey Direct Impact Nation!
Ahhhh!!! There’s a monster in the bed!!!
Happy Halloween Direct Impact Nation! Today is a Candid Conversation with Andrea and Mary where they talk about the benefits of having a therapeutic separation. Andrea breaks down how a therapeutic separation is created. She explains first assessing where each partner is in their recovery and part of a formal disclosure. This can be done in the same living space and consider what is best for the couple. The goal is not to work towards divorce but to create an atmosphere of healing. Mary and Andrea also discuss the negative perceptions that individuals may have when considering a therapeutic separation but remember the spirit is to save the marriage.

Hey Direct Impact Nation!
Welcome to Season 7!
Take a deep breath; it’s time for a mindful meditation. Today we are focusing on our window of tolerance. In our window of tolerance, we are able to access our emotions and thoughts and work as our most efficient self. When we are faced with difficulties, we may enter either hyper or hypo arousal. At this moment we are centering, grounding, and strengthening our window of tolerance.

Season 7 Episode 262
Date: 10/22/2024
S7 #262: Is Sex Addiction Real Or An Excuse?

Hey Direct Impact Nation!
Welcome to Season 7!
This is the main question of the season. In this episode, Andrea helps us dissect and understand if sex addiction is real or an excuse. She helps us understand the importance of recognizing the addiction itself. For those who have been betrayed know you are not crazy; remember there is no room for you if someone is in active addiction. While looking at your partner’s behaviors also take a moment to acknowledge your own behaviors of hypervigilance. These are not excuses but we need to be aware and work towards acceptance.
