Honesty is one of the biggest sticking points for a betrayed partner - its absolutely necessary in order to rebuild trust and safety in a relationship.

Honesty requires personal conviction order to "stick". Someone has to personally believe and accept that it's really important in order to change their behavior if they have a history of deceitful behavior.

Is this possible? Absolutely!

Have you ever noticed you can feel "off" around someone? Or maybe it's more noticeable when you spend time with someone you gives you energy...

Humans emit different frequencies, so that "vibe" you get from people is a real thing! Authenticity is the most powerful and most attractive frequency humans emit. And this happens when the inside matches the outside. When what we say and think matches what we do. 

Recovery from sex/porn addiction and betrayal trauma is so more than accomplishing sobriety and no longer having triggers every day. Recovery helps us learn the and skills we need in life to live in authenticity. We get to step into lives of integrity as we heal.
