She quickly shifts gears, venturing into the eerie and unsettling true crime stories emerging from Florida, examining how the state has become a breeding ground for some of the most bizarre and tragic narratives [00:55 Exploring Florida's Dark Side].

In episode 307, Mark & Steve respond to an all-too-common history and situation submitted by a betrayed partner. Healthy sexual intimacy after betrayal cannot simply return to what it once was; it must be rebuilt on a new foundation of authenticity and safety. Because pornography shapes the brain and rewires arousal patterns, couples often find themselves questioning what's real, what's healthy, and whether desire is rooted in connection or in old fantasy. Many partners struggle to trust, and many addicts struggle to trust themselves, creating a complex emotional landscape that must be navigated with care. This healing begins by evaluating intention and headspace—asking not what partners want to do sexually, but why they want to do it and what meaning it carries.From there, intimacy must be rebuilt through trust and transparency. Couples need to be able to talk openly about sexual preferences, fears, boundaries, and emotional needs before engaging physically. Silence or lack of objection is not consent; safety must be mutual, expressed, and explicit. Boundaries should be set outside of arousal states, and couples may need to slow down significantly—sometimes even stepping back to basics like hand-holding or non-sexual touch—while they rebuild a foundation that can hold the weight of deeper connection.Ultimately, recovering sexual intimacy after sexual toxicity is an evolving journey, not an achievement. It requires vulnerability, patience, and willingness to explore together rather than perform or comply. When couples move intentionally through this process—anchoring their sexuality in meaning, emotional presence, collaboration, and shared values—they often find themselves creating a sexual connection that is deeper and healthier than anything they experienced before recovery.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   How Do We Discover/Recover Healthy Sexual Intimacy After Sexual Toxicity and Betrayal?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Is It Addiction—or Acting Out? Rebuilding Safety, Empathy & Choice After Betrayal -with Sexologist Cheryl Camarillo After betrayal, you're left asking impossible questions: Was it an addiction? A choice? Can it change? This powerful conversation with sexologist and social worker Cheryl Camarillo brings clarity, compassion, and grounded hope. Together, Lora and Cheryl unpack how to tell the difference between sexual addiction and acting-out behavior, what integrity abuse really means, and why empathy—not shame—is the foundation for healing. You'll learn how to assess whether reconciliation is truly possible, what real accountability looks like, and why safety, trust, and emotional regulation must come before intimacy. Whether you stay or go, this episode will help you understand the path forward so you can heal on every level—mind, body, and soul. Top 3 Takeaways Addiction vs. Acting Out: Understanding the root of your partner's behavior determines the right kind of help and prevents further harm. Integrity Abuse & Entitlement: When promises and empathy break down, healing can't begin until accountability replaces defensiveness.

This week on Therapy Works, I speak with Tracey, a 55-year-old mother of three, whose story is one of heartbreak, courage, and ultimately, liberation. Tracey describes the moment her marriage of 21 years ended in the most shocking and devastating way - a sudden revelation of her husband's long-term infidelity. What followed was a period of deep grief, shame, and secrecy as she tried to protect her children while coming to terms with a truth that had completely upended her world. What struck me most in our conversation was Tracy's honesty about the years that followed once the crisis had passed. She shared how, despite managing the practicalities of divorce with great competence, she carried the emotional weight of what had happened for far longer than she expected. Through therapy, friendship, and self-reflection, she began to release the shame that wasn't hers to hold and, in doing so, discovered new aspects of herself, including her sexuality. Tracey's story reminds us that even from the most painful experiences, something new and life-giving can emerge. When we stop pretending to be “fine,” when we tell the truth about what's really happened, we make space for healing and, as Tracy beautifully puts it, for becoming “more you.” More from Therapy Works: Subscribe to the Therapy Works Substack for guidance on everyday struggles and access to Julia's monthly live webinar: ⁠https://juliasamuel.substack.com/⁠ Follow Julia on Instagram: ⁠@juliasamuelmbe⁠ for tips, tools, and conversations about navigating life's challenges.

She didn't just heal her marriage, she gained lifelong skills to transform all areas of her life, which she now passes on to her daughters. She's pampered, cherished, and finally feels alive again.

This episode (#306) addresses a common but painful question from betrayed partners: “Is my spouse a narcissist, or just showing narcissistic tendencies?” Mark and Steve explain that while the term “narcissist” has become a cultural buzzword, true narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is rare and defined by a complete absence of empathy. In contrast, addicts in denial often appear narcissistic because they're reacting defensively from fear and shame. Their hurtful behaviors—blame-shifting, gaslighting, and emotional withdrawal—mimic narcissism but stem from self-protection, not superiority.The hosts emphasize that what matters most isn't the label but the destination. Whether the issue is narcissism, addiction, or emotional immaturity, the key question is: Where is this relationship heading if nothing changes? The described situation clearly reflects an abuse cycle—one fueled by denial, volatility, and manipulation. For the addict, breaking that cycle means pausing reactivity, taking full ownership, and seeking specialized recovery help rather than generic therapy. True healing begins only when defensiveness gives way to empathy and accountability.For the betrayed partner, safety and support come first. Isolation only deepens the trauma, so finding community through trusted friends, family, or support groups like S-Anon and SALifeline is essential. She must set firm boundaries and remember that protecting her partner from consequences is not the same as loving him. The episode closes with practical resources—including books like The Gaslighting Recovery Workbook and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents—and a hopeful reminder that even deeply wounded couples can rebuild when they both commit to truth, humility, and genuine change.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   Is My Partner a "Narcissist" of does he just have Narcissistic Tendencies?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

Most guys in sexless marriages miss the most important piece of the puzzle. They think if they just get their wife to “want it” again, everything will go back to normal.

We'll talk about:Why early sexual chemistry predicts long-term compatibilityWhy “good but not great” in your 20s often turns into “nonexistent” in your 30sThe biological reality of desire, novelty, and Mother Nature's cruel trickWhat it really means when your wife seems disinterested now but sexual after divorceHow to avoid this mistake in your next relationshipIf this topic hits home, check out The Dead Bedroom Fix at https://deadbedroomfix.com — and join our private men's community, The Brotherhood, at https://helpformen.com/join.

Hope After Betrayal: Rebuilding When Everything You Believed In Falls Apart “We don't always realize it, but one of the hardest parts of betrayal isn't the lies or even the loss of love—it's the shattering of hope.” — Lora Cheadle In this intimate episode, Lora reframes hope as the bridge between devastation and a life rebuilt—not toxic positivity or waiting for someone else to change, but grounded, embodied hope rooted in your choices, compassion, meaning, and connection. You'll hear the four stages of hope after betrayal (from false hope to grounded hope), how to spot the difference between wishful thinking and true hope, and five practical ways to bring hope back online in your body and your life—no matter which path your relationship takes. Top 3 Takeaways Name the real injury: The deepest wound of betrayal isn't just the loss of trust—it's the death of hope. Feeling hopeless is a nervous-system protection, not a personal failure. True hope vs. toxic hope: Toxic hope waits for someone else to change; true hope trusts you to create peace, safety, and joy again—regardless of the outcome. From flicker to foundation: Rebuild hope through Connection, Choice, Compassion, Meaning/Faith, and Embodiment—small, consistent actions that restore agency and let your body feel hopeful again.

Infidelity, widowhood, and single momming.  We're talking with Retha Nichole — coach, speaker, mom of three, and founder of Walk Me Through That. Her story is almost unbelievable: a young mom, pregnant, caring for her husband in a coma, only to discover his multiple affairs — and yet it became the place where God met … I Found Out About the Affairs While My Husband Was in a Coma

This episode (#305) opens with a raw letter from a betrayed partner who discovered her husband had been using social media photos of women they both knew—friends, clients, even family—to fuel his sexual fantasies. Her anguish—“How could he ever love me if he could do this?”—captures the emotional devastation of betrayal trauma. We discuss how porn and sex addiction warp the brain's functioning, turning sexual stimulation into a survival need. When addiction takes over the limbic brain, logic, empathy, and morality shut down, producing behavior that makes no sense to the healthy mind.For betrayed partners, healing begins not with fixing him, but with caring for themselves. That means seeking outside support, reframing “How do I get over this?” into “How do I attend to my trauma?” and embracing acceptance—not as approval, but as facing reality so they can make empowered choices. From there, the partner can form clear, self-protective boundaries based on her authentic needs. Boundaries aren't about controlling the addict—they're about safeguarding one's own integrity and safety.For addicts, true recovery demands brutal honesty and a willingness to dismantle the lies that keep them in the “secret sexual basement.” They must uncover the emotional roots of their addiction, stop reacting defensively, and take proactive leadership in rebuilding trust. Healing requires outside accountability, transparency, and a daily commitment to growth. Ultimately, both partners must walk their own journeys—she toward safety and truth, he toward honesty and maturity. Whether they reunite or not, redemption is possible when both confront reality with courage, humility, and integrity.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  My Porn Addicted Partner uses photos of Family & Friends to Fantasize!

Bottom line is any person in your life will always treat you exactly how you've taught them to treat you and how you've allowed them to treat you! It doesn't matter who the individaul is, they will do to you what you allow them to get away with! You teach your significant other exactly how he or she can treat you because you show your vulnerabilities out of what you perceive is love, when it has nothing to do with love. A person who truly loves you should enhance your life, not use, abuse, or control you! Most people don't have a clue of what love is because they've never learned to love self first!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

How to Feel Like Yourself Again After Betrayal — Without Fixing a Thing “What if feeling like yourself again isn't about fixing anything—but releasing what isn't you anymore?” — Lora Cheadle Healing isn't supposed to be another job. In this soul-stirring solo episode, Lora Cheadle reframes recovery from betrayal, showing why focusing on fixing what's broken only keeps you stuck in the cycle of pain. Instead of “working on” yourself, what if you started creating yourself — not the perfect version, but the real one? Through the Alter Ego Embodiment Exercise from her book FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy & Spiritual Self, Lora invites you to use art, imagination, and movement to rediscover who you are beneath the masks, labels, and expectations.

Whether you're newly betrayed or years past discovery day, this episode will help you exhale, unclench, and reconnect with the woman inside who's ready to feel good again — not someday, but now. You'll Learn Why focusing on “healing” often leads to more healing work (and not more freedom) How to shift from fixing the past to creating your future self The safe, playful power of alter ego embodiment to reclaim confidence and joy How to integrate your shadow and higher self into a Statement of Divine Empowerment Why somatic release through dance and movement (like Yogalesque®) works better than thinking your way through pain Join the Creation and the Conversation: FREE FLAUNT!

In Episode 304, Mark and Steve address a powerful letter from a partner whose relationship began in betrayal—her husband secretly continued sexual involvement with his ex while dating her and later maintained years of hidden pornography use. Despite countless promises to quit, he lied, relapsed, and gaslighted her, leaving her emotionally and physically wrecked. They affirm that what she's experiencing is genuine betrayal trauma, not overreaction, describing how chronic deceit and emotional abuse erode safety, identity, and even bodily health.The hosts urge her to stop carrying responsibilities that were never hers—monitoring his devices, managing his guilt, or offering premature forgiveness. Healing, they explain, begins with reclaiming her independence and self-worth. That requires professional therapy, strong boundaries, and releasing the roles of “policewoman,” “confessor,” and “absolver.” For the relationship to have any chance of survival, the truth must come out in full through a professionally guided disclosure process, possibly with a polygraph, so she can finally make informed choices about her future.For the husband, Mark and Steve insist that real recovery is proactive, structured, and honest. He must stop reacting only when caught and instead pursue transparency and leadership in his healing. Whether through Dare to Connect or another structured program, addicts need daily accountability and consistent engagement. Ultimately, they stress that rebuilding trust takes time and integrity—measured not in promises but in patterns. For the partner, the focus now is learning to trust herself again; for the addict, it's becoming truly trustworthy. Only then can real recovery and genuine connection begin.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  In a relationship Filled with Betrayal—How Can I Trust He will NOT Betray Me Again?!Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

This week, host Solarina Ho and her guest, Hong Kong filmmaker Elizabeth Lo, discuss the director's award-winning new documentary, 'Mistress Dispeller', which premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival last September. The film is now playing in select theaters across the United States. The intimate film follows a middle-aged couple and Wang Zhenxi, a "Mistress Dispeller", who is hired by the wife to end the husband's affair with a younger woman. Solarina and Elizabeth discuss the film's meditative exploration of relationships, how Wang inserts herself into this couple's life, and how the couple — and the mistress — navigate the complex dynamics and emotions of marriage and infidelity, and their place within broader Chinese society. Elizabeth also discusses the painstaking, years-long process of finding her central characters, and the remarkable trust and sensitivity required that allowed her to tell their stories.

“The cost of that is courage, to live for love, in truth. It takes a lot of guts and the rewards are indescribable.”Dr. Alexandra sits down with bestselling author and coach Dr. Martha Beck to explore what it means to live “for love, in truth”, a mantra that can redefine the way we experience love and relationships. In a world filled with societal pressures and expectations, Martha shares her wisdom on how embracing authenticity can unlock profound joy and lead to fulfilling connections.

Together, Dr. Alexandra and Dr. Martha Beck tackle a listener's poignant question about experiencing doubt in her relationship that's full of “emotional complexities and longing”, leading her to question if her needs are being met.In this episode, you'll learn:What Martha Beck means by her mantra, “For love, in truth,” and how to recognize when you're living out of alignment with your truth.How to hold love and truth through moments of doubt and loss, and how to embrace doubt and loss as necessary aspects of growth.How to come back to peace when life feels overwhelming.How to balance compassion for your partner with holding your own truth, telling your own story, and tending to your personal needs. Resources worth mentioning from the episode:Learn more about Martha Beck: https://marthabeck.com/Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity and Finding Your Life's Purpose by Martha Beck: https://bookshop.org/p/books/beyond-anxiety-curiosity-creativity-and-finding-your-life-s-purpose-martha-beck/6741d02da06f0869Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan's Wilder Community: https://wildercommunity.com/Managing Back to School Stress on MasterClass:  http://masterclass.com/backtoschoolContinue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon:Ask a question!

In this episode we asked listeners for their Worst Exits Ever stories. The cheaters who abandoned the family at Christmas. Or during a health crisis. Or just days before a giant exam. During the third round of chemo. Or when the chump is pregnant with twins. What's going on? Are they maximizing the cruelty? Is it deliberate? The good news is, everyone who reported in said after the initial hardship, life is a lot better without a heartless loser.
