    #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.

They are at the starting point of recovery after 17 years of infidelity and porn addiction.

David and Eileen walk them through several thoughts about the patterns in the relationship and how hope and change are possible in spite of the deep hurt and wounds.

    #45 - Is Arguing Good in Recovery After Cheating has Occurred?

    Ask Us a Question! In this episode, Eileen and David tackle the difficult subject of how we handle arguments in recovery. Is it good to have them and what form can they take? Ultimately, they work to break down several ways this can work to end the relationship if the betrayer reverts to self-protective ways instead of viewing his hurt partners attempts as connection rather than attacks. In the end, we are seeking connection. And connection is hard to find through arguing. But David and Eileen offer what may be a better perspective shift - connection in conflict rather than arguing. ⛓️‍💥  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.
