    132. Betrayed Partners Want to Know: Why Did You Cheat? And How Could You Let It Happen?

    Betrayed partners often ask Sex Addicts and chronic cheaters two questions: "Why did you do this?" and "How did you let this happen?"  Being able to answer these two questions is foundational to the sex addiction recovery process. Without these answers, I don’t believe one can be considered to be in good recovery. Blind trust is no longer possible for the betrayed partner. While blind trust is gone, answering these questions helps rebuild a different kind of trust. One where the partner feels safe because her husband can explain his actions and demonstrates he understands how to prevent relapse. In this podcast, I discuss why answering these questions can be difficult and how men can do the work required to answer them. The “why” and the “how” of each sex addiction are different from person to person. This is exactly why it is so important for every guy to determine their specific mental process. Without it, you cannot guarantee that your recovery plan will be enough to keep your marriage safe. If you’d like help defining the specifics of your sexual compulsivity, my book is a great resource. You can find it here on Amazon and the audiobook on Audible: https://a.co/d/0j6eRiQR Successful men have different addictive pathways when compared to men in the general population.

    131. Disclosing Infidelity to Your Adult Children with Carley Pool

    There are many resources out there that help parents disclose sexual betrayal to young children, but what about your adult children? I saw Carley Pool (certified sex addiction therapist) present on this topic recently at a sex addiction conference, and I knew that this would be a great podcast episode for many of my listeners. In this episode, Carley educates listeners on how to disclose your infidelity to adult children and how this differs from other disclosures. For those of you with adult children, I think you will find this episode very useful when talking with them about your past behavior. If you would like to work with Carley, you can find her information here: https://daringventures.com/our-team/carley/ If you have not yet read my book, “The High Achiever's Guide to Sex Addiction Recovery: A Proven Blueprint for Successful Professionals to Overcome Sex and Porn Addiction.” You can find it here on Amazon and the audiobook on Audible: https://a.co/d/0j6eRiQR If you are looking for information about my recovery groups, visit my website here: https://successfuladdict.com/

    130. Sobriety Vs. Recovery: Why Sex Addicts Relapse

    It’s been a while since I’ve recorded an episode on the difference between sex addiction sobriety and recovery. Understanding the definitions of both is critical for men who want to avoid relapse. Here are the reasons why you need to know the difference: You cannot be in good recovery unless you know the difference between sobriety and recovery. Your marriage is at risk unless you have both. You need to be able to define both so that you can know how well you are doing and where you can improve. Sobriety is just a band-aid, and you cannot rely on it long-term. Recovery is what you need to keep your sex addiction from returning. Your marriage's longevity depends on it. I have two chapters on sobriety and recovery in my book: “The High Achiever's Guide to Sex Addiction Recovery: A Proven Blueprint for Successful Professionals to Overcome Sex and Porn Addiction.” You can find it here on Amazon and the audiobook on Audible: https://a.co/d/0j6eRiQR If you’re a high-achiever and you’re looking for other successful men to connect with in recovery, visit my website here: https://successfuladdict.com/

    129. How to Explain Your Sex Addiction to a Betrayed Partner (It’s Harder Than You Might Think)

    Jeremy Mast is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist whom I have collaborated with often. In this podcast episode, we discuss the “why” behind sex and porn addiction. Betrayed partners need to know how and why you did what you cheated. However, it can be difficult to explain infidelity. In this episode, Jeremy and I talk about the various “whys” we have encountered over the years and why it can be difficult to nail down the reason behind your sex addiction. We also talk about where treatment will differ for each sex addict and why their recovery groups and treatment plan may look different than that of other guys in recovery.

    128. How To Find a Good Sex Addiction Recovery Group

    This year's sex addiction intensives were the best I’ve ever hosted. In this podcast episode, I explain why. Sex and porn addiction recovery is a unique thing. You can’t simply stop, detox, and carry on with your life. Many men try… most fail. If you’re serious about your recovery, you already know recovery groups are the most effective way to achieve long-term sobriety and lasting recovery. However, that only applies if your sex addiction recovery group is actually providing you with the recovery systems, connection, and accountability you actually need. How do you know if your group is good enough to help you avoid relapse? Listen to this podcast episode. If you have thought about joining one of my groups, but wonder if it would be a good fit for you? Start by reading my book.

    126. Why Sex Addiction Is Different For Successful Men

    The thought processes that successful men are addicted to are different than those of the general population. High-achieving men have developed many skills that help them in business, but can often make sex addiction recovery a bit more complicated. In this episode, I discuss why sex addiction is often different for successful men, and what they will need to do differently if they plan to achieve long-term recovery and avoid relapse. For many high-achievers, their addiction involves seeking attention, risk, excitement, novelty, superiority, power, control, and feeling wanted or desired. Each of these mental processes will need to be addressed in your sex addiction recovery plan. I talk about this in great detail in my book: “The High-Achievers Guide To Sex Addiction Recovery.” You can find it here, both in paper copy and on Audible: https://a.co/d/0j6eRiQR If you are a high-achiever, business owner, executive, or entrepreneur and you are looking for a recovery group full of like-minded men, visit my website here: https://successfuladdict.com/

    125. Healing Your Marriage After Sexual Betrayal: The 3 Phases of Relational Recovery

    Healing your marriage after sexual betrayal is a painful, chaotic, and confusing time for couples. The good news is that there are predictable phases that most couples go through along the road to repair. In this episode, I am joined by Matthey and Joanna Raabsmith. They have developed a model that helps couples heal after betrayal.  Their model follows three phases of healing. Each phase requires a different relational dynamic to facilitate connection, safety, and trust. In this podcast episode, we discuss all three in detail to help couples ensure that they are honoring the nuances of each phase. Sex addiction and healing a marriage post-infidelity can be overwhelming. Having a model that you can reference is often very helpful to ensure that you are doing all you can to recover. If you are interested in joining the Raabsmiths' upcoming couples retreat in October, use this link: https://renewingusretreats.com/ I talk about this in great detail in my book: “The High-Achievers Guide To Sex Addiction Recovery.” You can find it here, both in paper copy and on Audible: https://a.co/d/0j6eRiQR If you are a high-achiever, business owner, executive, or entrepreneur and you are looking for a recovery group full of like-minded men, visit my website here: https://successfuladdict.com/
