    #55 - AI Porn, Lust, and Our Kids: How We Can Affect The Future of Porn Addiction

    #53 - Comparing Your Recovery to Others: The Hidden Trap in Betrayal Trauma & Porn Addiction Healing

    Ask Us a Question! It's easy to look at someone further along in their recovery and feel like you're falling behind — but comparison can quietly become one of the biggest traps in betrayal trauma and porn addiction recovery. In this weeks Podcast, David and Eileen talk about what's really going on when comparison creeps in, how it differs from genuine self-reflection, and how to refocus on your own God-given pace without losing motivation or hope. Together, they unpack why measuring your healing against someone else's timeline has the potential to distort your progress, fuel shame, and pulls you out of the work that's actually in front of you.  If you've ever felt discouraged because you're "not as far along" as someone else, this conversation will help you reframe what real progress looks like.

    #48 - Savior Complex and Sex Addiction: Why the Desire to "Fix" Hurts the Betrayed - with Guest Matt and Michelle - Part 2

    Ask Us a Question! In this episode, Eileen and David continue their discussion with guests Matt and Michelle. This week, they focus on Michelle and her healing needs after years of pain. They are at the starting point of recovery after 17 years of infidelity and porn addiction, but the effects of the infidelity and lies have had a physical and mental affect on Michelle's body. Eileen spends time working with Michelle on ways that her desire to sacrifice herself for the people around her is harming her body. The conversation then focuses on ways to use that desire to do good in order to work towards her goals and how to separate anxiety from gut instincts that serve her well. On this path to healing, Michelle is then given an opportunity to change her life, regardless of Matt's choices. This is part 2 of a two part discussion.  ⛓️‍💥  Try the Ever Accountable App and save 20% with Hope Beyond Betrayal →https://everaccountable.com/hopebeyondbetrayal/ Welcome to a raw, honest, and hope-filled podcast where we share our journey of healing after the devastation of porn addiction and infidelity.
