To help you discern whether the person you have found will be able to help you navigate through the tricky waters of recovery, I have enlisted the help of my husband, Mark Makinney, a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist, to talk us through the important areas to consider. 

In this rich and candid interview Cat draws from her personal and professional experience of dealing with betrayal trauma. Here's a therapist we wish we could clone for all our listeners! This is a MUST LISTEN!

Cat Etherington is Head of Recovery for UK based charity Naked Truth Project. Naked Truth Project formed with a vision to Open Eyes and Free Lives fro the Damaging Impact of Pornography. As a multi skilled practitioner, international educator and speaker, Cat has pioneered multiple online recovery and healing resources for men and women impacted by problematic sexual behaviours, both their own and that their spouse or partner. Drawing on her own personal addiction and betrayal trauma recovery journeys, as well as her multiple professional trainings and certification, Cat (along with the rest of the Naked Truth Recovery team) supports men and women from around the world with skill and compassion. 

In this episode I have the pleasure of being joined by Jenaye White, publicity and marketing guru at LifeWay, to talk about two exciting new initiatives that can help you bring the message of Fight For Love to women at your church. 

Firstly, we talk about a seven day devotional for wives of porn addicts, and secondly we explain a terrific new initiative called Stay On The Same Page, created to help churches stay connected and study together at this challenging time. After we explain how 'Fight For Love - Stay On The Same Page' works, we tackle all the possible objections you might face from others and from your own brain!   

On this episode the team tackle two very common questions: 

Will I ever feel the same way about my husband again?

Will it help if I take pictures of myself for him? 

Even if your husband remains unrepentant and refuses to seek help there is still great hope for a joy-filled transformed life for yourself and your children. In this episode Ruth describes her own healing journey beyond her divorce from her porn addicted husband. 

**A must listen for anyone who doesn't believes that porn use affects relationship**  In this most vulnerable of episodes we share exactly how our husband's porn addictions affected us, and what it was like to draw that initial line in the sand on porn. It was not knowledge that drove us to set boundaries it was sheer pain.  If we could go back and tell our younger selves one thing this is what we would say!

To help us unpack what to do when your porn addicted spouse is also abusive, we have enlisted the expertise of Jeneane Nicodemus (Associate Marriage and Family Therapist),  a survivor of domestic violence and therapist at Stand Strong, a women's shelter for survivors of domestic violence in San Luis Obispo County, California. F

True to form, we're kicking off our new season by getting real about how this pandemic is kicking our collective butt, and we're not even in the heat of an active addiction. In this episode we share the reality of a rapidly growing global porn pandemic, and emphasize the importance of upping up your self-care and seeking support. 

Grab your hankies, and join us as we reflect on God's goodness and grace in our lives. 

Rosie shares the joys and the challenges of writing the book, and the team reveal what motivated them to share their stories with the world. 

Praise for Fight for Love by  Dr. Josh McDowell, renowned author and speaker: "Using neuroscience and Scripture, and unflinching honesty, Rosie brings hard facts and hard truths for these hard times. This book has a challenging message, but it is beautifully wrapped in hope and grace and gentle humor. I’d consider it essential reading for Christian wives trying to navigate life and relationships in a pornified culture. It’s time to equip and encourage women to pick up their swords and join in the fight.”
