    The Prevalence of Domestic Violence in the Lives of Partners of Sex Addicts | With Lisa Taylor

    In this interview I share the results of my Masters thesis which show that rates of domestic violence are considerably higher in the lives of partners of sex addicts than in the general population. This is significant because women are arriving daily on therapists’ doorsteps seeking help for betrayal trauma, but with their experiences of DV under recognized and under disclosed. Moreover the study looked into what factors were associated with more frequent violence and damaging types of violence (i.e., physical and sexual) and what factors were associated with violence mitigation.  Links to find Lisa! https://beyondbetrayal.community https://nakedtruthproject.com/get-help/ 2024 Daring Way Retreats: https://go.drjakeporter.com/daringway2024?r_done=1
