After doing a lot of research, and finding support and resources for him and his addiction with pornography, Catherine realized that she had hit a brick wall in finding support for herself, her pain and her own addictions.

Where the best starting point is for women and couples looking to heal after experiencing betrayal and trauma.     Why self care is one of the most important things for women as they begin their healing from betrayal and addiction.     How to get men in the relationship to understand that their spouse getting “triggered” isn’t just a feeling, but instead is a whole body reaction to feeling unsafe.     What slips and relapses can look like in a relationship and what women can do when their spouse slips back into that old behavior or even experiences a relapse into that addiction.     How to navigate the difficulty of betrayal and addiction with your children, whether they are adolescents or adults.
