Dr. Rob and Tami answer some of your burning questions in this week’s episode. A listener writes in and asks if experiencing sex withdrawals after 13 days is normal, another is seeking advice and solace for being ridiculed by their siblings that they go to therapy, and Dr. Rob and Tami weigh in on what to do when a partner wants to manage all the finances, especially after a large betrayal. All this and more! 

 

TAKEAWAYS:

[0:30] I grew up in a dysfunctional household and my siblings are punishing me for going to therapy. They think they’re perfect. Is it really just me that’s got problems? 

[4:10] You’re in recovery now. You get to choose who you hang out with. 

[7:10] Dr. Rob, what are your thoughts on impulsive, abusive sexual disorders?

[8:40] I’m 13 days in, are sex withdrawls real? 

[12:55] My betrayed partner wants to manage all of my money. How do I rebuild my finances? 

[15:40] We’re so focused on ourselves that we’ve missed the kind of harm that we’ve caused. 

[17:50] My betrayed spouse thinks I’m still hiding my addiction. What do I do?

[26:25] Spouses can’t handle the constant lies. They just want to know the truth and feel safe again. 

[26:50] I’m having trouble working past fear and shame issues. What should I do?
