In this episode (#317), we address one of the most destabilizing experiences betrayed partners face: the collapse of reality after discovering a partner's hidden addiction. When betrayal comes from someone who appeared kind, loving, and emotionally present, the trauma can feel especially disorienting. Partners often question their intelligence, intuition, and judgment—but we make it clear that intuition cannot detect information that was deliberately concealed. Betrayal is not a failure of perception; it is the result of sustained secrecy, compartmentalization, and integrity abuse.Rather than focusing on whether the addict is truly in recovery or what the future might hold, we invite partners to gently shift their attention back to themselves. Grounding becomes essential in the aftermath of betrayal, as the nervous system is often locked in hypervigilance and survival mode. We explore the importance of pausing—not freezing—so that decisions are not driven by fear, pressure, or urgency. Authentic wants and needs are not ultimatums or selfish demands; they are expressions of self-truth that deserve to be honored, especially after trauma.Finally, we discuss what it means to reclaim self-trust. Loving another person authentically requires seeing them as they truly are, not just through hope or potential—but it also requires honoring one's own authentic limits, capacity, and bandwidth. This episode is not about making the “right” relationship decision. It is about choosing a path that allows the betrayed partner to remain congruent, grounded, and whole. Healing does not require predicting the future; it begins by staying honest with yourself in the present.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   From Shock to Self-Trust:  Reclaiming Your Inner Truth After BetrayalLearn 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

We've been talking about the important discussion around sex, and how God uses it as a beautiful gift in the confines of a marriage between a man and a woman. In this part two conversation, Rodney Holmstrom, global field Director of Celebrate Recovery, walks us through some additional points to consider in how a false view of sexual intimacy can be a counterfeit to true intimacy and healthy relationships with God and others. What is a healthy biblical view of sex and is their hope for us? What if we are struggling with things like pornography, sexually acting out, or other lust mindsets that are consuming us on a daily basis? Listen to this episode and hear some hope that change is possible, if we will acknowledge the struggle and then trust the process as we invite God into our pain and struggles.

In this episode (#316) we focus on the critical role of proactive honesty in healing relationships impacted by addiction, betrayal, and trauma. Proactive honesty goes far beyond “not lying”—it means leading with truth rather than waiting to be confronted, asked the right question, or forced into disclosure. When honesty becomes reactive instead of proactive, trust erodes, emotional safety collapses, and partners lose the ability to make informed choices. We emphasize that honesty struggles are not limited to addicts; partners can also drift into dishonesty through self-silencing, conflict avoidance, or fear of toxic reactions.We examine the many reasons honesty breaks down, including fear of conflict, shame, habitual deception, emotional dysregulation, and attempts to manage or control others' perceptions. While these patterns may be understandable survival strategies, they are never harmless. Dishonesty—whether through outright lies, partial truths, minimization, or “everything's fine” responses—undermines accountability, intimacy, and recovery. We explain why clarity equals respect, why intent does not erase impact, and how avoiding the full truth often creates repeated betrayals rather than preventing harm.Finally, we outline what practicing proactive honesty actually looks like: catching dishonesty early, naming wrongs clearly, telling the whole truth, acknowledging impact without defensiveness, expressing accountability without shame, backing words with measurable actions, and allowing the other person's response without trying to control it. We also stress the importance of choosing appropriate environments for difficult conversations—without using that as an excuse to deceive. Proactive honesty is uncomfortable and challenging, but it is essential for rebuilding trust, restoring integrity, and creating relationships rooted in safety, authenticity, and real connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   What Does "Proactive Honesty" in Your Daily Life & Relationships Look Like?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

There hasn't been a day this week that the dangers of Grok haven't been highlighted: particularly the nudification of women and children. However, AI's dangerous and dark influence has been seeping in for many people, and now AI is impacting porn addiction in a big way as people begin to seek help…Family Psychotherapist specialising in porn addiction, David Kavanagh is highlighting this trend, and joins Seán to discuss.

We've been talking about God's natural design for release of dopamine, and how the enemy can distort that and even hijack His original design as it relates to sex in the confines of a marriage. What are some ways the enemy lies to us around sex? What are the costs to this? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of celebrate recovery, will dive into part one of this important topic and how we can learn and grow through the counterfeit ways the enemy hijacks God's design and get back to the natural God-given gift design to walk in healthy intimacy with God and others.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset Most men struggling with porn addiction aren't stuck because they're weak. They're stuck because they're still believing lies about who they are.   In this powerful solo episode, Coach Frank Rich confronts the hidden self-deceptions that keep high-functioning men trapped in secrecy, shame, and divided identity. From "I'm a good man because I provide" to "I can handle this on my own," Frank exposes the internal narratives that sabotage freedom and shows why real change starts with truth, ownership, and identity transformation.   This is not an episode about behavior management.

Have you ever found yourself in a place of fatigue, depression, isolating from others and just feeling like you're tolerance for things that used to bring life joy just aren't there anymore? There could be many things that contribute to this, but one of the things that can be contributing is something called dopamine crash. How does the dopamine crash take us out of God's design for life? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field, Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack what a dopamine crash is and how going outside of God's design for stimulation and natural dopamine release can lead to unhealthy consequences. There is hope and a way out of it if we're willing to acknowledge it and understand it and invite God and others into it.

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   As the year comes to a close, Coach Frank Rich challenges men to stop carrying the same struggles into another year by asking one critical question: Are you asking the right questions?   In this episode, Frank explains why most men fail to break free from porn addiction, not because they lack information or discipline, but because they're trying to solve a deep identity and emotional issue with surface-level behavior changes.   Rather than offering tactics or motivation, Frank walks through 10 powerful questions every man must ask himself heading into 2026. These questions expose the real reasons behind porn addiction, reveal how identity and emotional avoidance fuel relapse, and clarify the path toward lasting freedom.   Frank also introduces the Reboot Your Life system, a proven identity-based transformation framework that goes beyond sobriety to help men rebuild their structure, discipline, brotherhood, and purpose.   This episode is a must-listen for any man who's tired of starting over and ready to make a real decision heading into the new year.     Key Takeaways Most men stay stuck because they ask the wrong questions   Porn is a symptom, not the root problem   Addiction often serves a hidden emotional or psychological purpose Identity is revealed through private patterns, not public intentions   Relapse is usually driven by emotional avoidance, not desire   Beliefs always come before behavior—lies fuel the cycle   Isolation strengthens addiction; brotherhood breaks it   Structure protects against relapse and chaos feeds compulsion   Looking honestly at the future creates urgency for change   Questions create clarity, but action creates freedom       Ready to Stop Fighting and Start Becoming Free?

In episode #313, we address a hard but necessary truth: addicts cannot change what they refuse to see. Using two deeply moving submissions from betrayed partners, we illustrate how years of porn use, dishonesty, staggered disclosure, and fake recovery create devastating emotional, psychological, relational, and financial consequences. These stories highlight partners who are not “impatient” or “unforgiving,” but who are reaching the end of their capacity after living in chronically unsafe relationships shaped by manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional abandonment.We explore how addiction in committed relationships represents a fundamental breach of contract—one in which the addict continues to benefit from a partner's love, loyalty, emotional labor, and sexual availability while secretly violating the very agreements that relationship was built upon. Drawing on clinical concepts such as Integrity Abuse and intentionally manipulated reality, we explain how chronic deception strips partners of informed consent, destabilizes their nervous systems, and forces them into hyper-vigilance, self-doubt, and long-term trauma. The damage extends beyond the relationship itself, often impairing a partner's future capacity for trust, intimacy, and connection.Finally, we issue a direct plea to addicts: face the devastation honestly and let it become the catalyst for real change. This is not about collapsing into shame, but about developing clarity, humility, and resolve. We emphasize that words, promises, and intentions are no longer enough—only consistent action, accountability, sacrifice, and transparency demonstrate true recovery. The episode closes with a sobering reminder from a listener who lost his marriage after decades of delay, underscoring the urgency of choosing change now, before the cost becomes irreversible.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   Face the Devastation You Have Heaped Upon Your Partner and then CHOOSE TO CHANGE!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

If you've ever said to yourself, “Porn ruined my life” — but still find yourself going back to it — this episode is for you.For years, I believed quitting porn was about discipline, willpower, and avoiding temptation. But what I eventually discovered — both in my own recovery and in my work with men — is that porn addiction isn't just about pleasure. It's about attachment. And often, it's an attachment not only to pleasure… but to pain.In this episode, I explore a side of porn addiction recovery that almost no one talks about: grieving your porn addiction.Whether you realize it or not, porn has likely been a relationship in your life — a companion you turned to for comfort, escape, connection, control, or relief from emotional pain. And when you try to quit porn without understanding what it's been doing for you emotionally, your nervous system resists. That's why porn cravings feel so powerful. That's why relapse feels inevitable. And that's why so many men stay stuck in shame-based cycles.We dive deep into the psychology and neuroscience of porn addiction, including:Why your brain can become attached to both pleasure and punishmentHow early emotional wounds and trauma shape porn useWhy your sexual fantasies aren't random — and what they reveal about unmet emotional needsHow attachment to familiarity (even painful familiarity) keeps porn addiction aliveWhy willpower alone fails — and what actually leads to lasting recoveryI also walk you through a step-by-step emotional process for grieving porn — not shaming it, not white-knuckling it, but understanding it — so you can finally leave it behind without fear, self-hatred, or constant relapse.If you're tired of fighting yourself… If you feel disconnected from your body, your relationships, or your purpose… If quitting porn feels harder than it “should”…You're not broken. And you're not weak.You may simply be trying to walk away from something your nervous system believes it still needs — without honoring the grief underneath it.This episode will help you understand:What porn has been symbolically trying to give youWhat you're afraid of losing if you let it goAnd how to meet those needs in ways that actually align with who you areThis is porn addiction recovery rooted in psychology, emotional healing, and compassion — not fear or control.Listen in, and let's talk about the real path to freedom.Link to Blog Article for this episodeIf you're looking for deeper support and real connection in recovery, I'm opening the No More Desire Brotherhood on January 15th.

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Most men don't relapse because they're weak. They relapse because they're alone.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich exposes the growing loneliness and isolation crisis facing modern men and why it's one of the biggest drivers behind porn addiction today.   Drawing from real client experiences, cultural data, and years of coaching men through recovery, Frank breaks down 7 reasons isolation fuels porn addiction, revealing how secrecy, shame, emotional pressure, and loss of identity quietly keep men trapped.   This episode isn't just about quitting porn. It's about reclaiming identity, brotherhood, and purpose—and why real freedom is never found alone.   What You'll Learn In This Episode Why porn addiction thrives in isolation—not weakness   How loneliness is quietly destroying men's standards, identity, and direction   The emotional pressures that drive relapse beneath the surface   Why shame grows stronger the more men fight alone   How porn becomes a counterfeit form of connection   Why purpose collapses without brotherhood   The missing piece most men overlook in recovery 7 Reasons Isolation Fuels Porn Addiction Isolation removes accountability Without brotherhood, standards collapse and discipline fades. Isolation multiplies emotional pressure Stress, anxiety, boredom, and resentment seek escape. Isolation erodes identity Men begin believing lies about who they are and what's possible. Isolation lowers standards Survival replaces growth when no one is calling you higher. Isolation amplifies shame Secrecy fuels the addiction loop. Isolation turns porn into a "relationship" Porn becomes comfort, control, and counterfeit intimacy.

Episode 312—Many couples in recovery assume that progress means focusing only on the future, but this mindset often overlooks the deep losses created by addiction and betrayal. Partners may grieve the relationship they thought they had, the years marked by deception, and the emotional safety that was taken from them without consent. When grief is minimized or avoided—often in the name of “positivity”—partners can feel unseen and pressured to suppress their pain, recreating the emotional neglect that existed during active addiction.For addicts, grieving the past is especially difficult because it requires facing accountability without collapsing into shame. Many were raised in environments where responsibility and worthlessness were intertwined, making emotional presence feel threatening. Yet intimacy cannot grow where grief is forbidden. When addicts are unable to stay present with their partner's pain, the relationship develops emotional “no-go zones,” limiting safety and connection. True recovery requires the capacity to face loss honestly, without defensiveness or avoidance.When grief is approached with empathy, timing, and emotional maturity, it becomes one of the most powerful bonding experiences a couple can share. Grieving together does not mean living in the past—it means integrating it. By acknowledging what was lost, couples create space for authenticity, trust, and deeper intimacy. Healing is not about forgetting what happened, but about facing it together so that both partners can move forward grounded in truth, compassion, and shared humanity.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  My Partner is in Recovery.

In recovery, one of the essential principles that we need to fuel our recovery is Hope. If the enemy can get inside our head and heart and convince us that our situation is hopeless and there's no point in moving forward, he has us right where he wants us. But there is another way and some things to think about that can keep the enemy from winning his sabotage efforts. In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, will lean into some things and ways the enemy might try to sabotage our recovery with hopelessness as we face our situations.

We also discuss the timeline of repair, the changes he has seen in who struggles with sex addiction over the course of his career (hint: changes in age and gender), and how dealing with shame is an integral aspect of healing from sex/porn addiction and the havoc it can wreak on relationships and your life overall.Here are all of Duane's links!Novus Mindful Life CounselingThe Addicted Mind PodcastShame To ResilienceInstagram: The Addicted Mind Instagram Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/addictedmindpodcast/

Most men don't struggle with porn addiction because they lack discipline.They struggle because they were never taught how to understand, regulate, or work with their emotions.In this episode, I sit down with Rich Savoy—a coach, leader with Husband Material, and longtime mentor to men—to have one of the most honest conversations I've ever had about men, emotions, masculinity, and porn addiction recovery. We go beneath behavior and willpower and into the emotional and psychological roots that quietly keep men stuck in the cycle of shame, relapse, and self-criticism.If you've tried to quit porn and found yourself asking “Why do I keep going back?”—this episode will give you clarity, relief, and a new path forward.In this conversation, we explore:Why porn addiction is rarely about sex—and almost always about emotional painHow emotional suppression and shame fuel compulsive porn use in menThe difference between healthy masculinity and the “man box” most of us were raised inWhy willpower fails and emotional intelligence changes everythingHow Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work explain porn addiction at the rootWhy the part of you that turns to porn isn't broken—and what it's actually trying to protectWe also talk candidly about firefighter parts, shame cycles, emotional avoidance, and why many faith-based or performance-driven recovery approaches unintentionally make porn addiction worse.This episode is for men who are tired of fighting themselves.Men who want to overcome porn addiction without shame.Men who are ready to reclaim masculinity through presence, emotional awareness, and self-leadership—not suppression.If you've ever felt trapped between wanting to be strong and feeling deeply human at the same time, this conversation will resonate.Resources mentioned:Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapyNo Bad Parts by Dr. Richard SchwartzAltogether You by Jenna RiemersmaBoundaries for Your Soul by Kim MillerPodcasts and teachings from Drew Boa and Husband MaterialIf this episode helped you, I'd encourage you to listen with an open mind—and share it with a man who needs to hear that he's not broken, weak, or beyond hope.Porn addiction recovery is possible.And it starts with emotional healing.Explore more of Rich's work at:https://www.husbandmaterial.com/Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeIf you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, visit NoMoreDesire.com and apply for my 1-on-1 Porn Addiction Recovery Coaching Program.

In this episode (#311), we respond to a vulnerable question from an addict early in recovery who wonders whether years of porn use have permanently damaged his ability to see his wife as the most attractive person in his life. He worries that neurological “chemical bonding” to porn images and body types means he will always be more attached to fantasy than to his real partner—and that his wife may be committing to a lifetime of being second-best. We affirm that pornography does significantly impact the brain, altering arousal templates and reinforcing dopamine-driven bonding to novelty and visual stimulation. However, this chemical bonding represents only one small aspect of human attachment, and the brain is both neuroplastic and capable of profound healing and expansion in recovery.We then challenge the cultural illusion that attraction is purely biological, automatic, and based solely on physical appearance. From movies to music to porn, society teaches an adolescent model of attraction that reduces human beings to bodies and chemistry and frames attraction as something that “just happens” to us. This narrow view leaves people powerless and sets relationships up to fail—especially when addiction is layered on top. In contrast, we describe attraction as a force that can be cultivated, expanded, diminished, or redirected based on what we value and where we invest our energy. Attraction grows through curiosity, presence, appreciation, and intentional engagement—not through comparison or novelty-seeking.Finally, we emphasize that the real question is not whether a partner can “compete” with porn, but whether the addict is willing to fundamentally change how they understand and practice attraction. Porn never teaches holistic attraction—it teaches consumption without connection. In recovery, addicts are invited to truly see their partner as a whole human being, appreciating not just physical appearance but character, sacrifice, shared history, and emotional depth. The prognosis for attraction is not fixed or predetermined; it is shaped by choice, maturity, and investment. When attraction is approached holistically, porn cannot compete—and many addicts find that what they feared was lost forever is something they are only just beginning to discover.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   After Years of Porn Use, Will I Ever See My Partner as the 'Most Attractive" Person in My Life?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

It has been said that if the enemy can't get to us, then he will attack our relationships. What are some of the crafty ways that he might try to create division and pull us away from unity and connection from our marriages, families, or just relationships as a whole? In this episode with Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, we walk through a conversation on specific ways the enemy will try to divide us from the most important resource in our recovery, relationships. What are some ways that we can combat? The enemies lies and sabotage to prevent falling back when the enemy attacks are most important relationships?

JOIN "THE REBUILT MAN" ON SKOOL - ▶️ www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   The holiday season can be one of the most vulnerable times of the year for men struggling with pornography and not because they're weak, but because the season exposes the parts of life most men avoid. With disrupted routines, more downtime, emotional pressure, travel, loneliness, and chaotic environments, relapse rates spike between Christmas and New Year every single year.   In this powerful solo episode, Coach Frank breaks down seven proven strategies to help you stay grounded, disciplined, and mission-focused through the holidays, so you can finish this year strong and enter 2026 with clarity, confidence, and momentum.   Whether you're traveling, surrounded by family, or spending the season alone, these tools will help you stay rooted in your identity, maintain structure, build emotional resilience, and stay connected to the Brotherhood so you don't fight this battle alone.   Key Takeaways The holidays expose the areas of life you often avoid during the year.   Relapse rates spike because men lose structure, routine, and emotional grounding.   Identity — not willpower — determines how you show up during the holidays.   A simple holiday structure protects your discipline and prevents drifting.   Anticipate environmental triggers before they happen (travel, tech, downtime).   Connection and accountability are essential to avoid isolation-driven relapse.   Emotional triggers (stress, loneliness, family tension) are often stronger than visual ones.   Keeping your body strong helps regulate your mind, impulses, and dopamine.   A mission-driven holiday plan gives you direction and momentum through the season.   Joining a supportive community accelerates growth and keeps you accountable.   Join the Brotherhood If you're ready to stop fighting alone and step into a container built for growth, support, and freedom:   ➡ Join The Rebuilt Man Skool Community — Free 7-Day Trial www.TheRebuiltMan.com/7dayreset   Inside you'll gain access to: Daily accountability Weekly coaching The 7-Day Reset The 12-Week "Reboot Your Life" Framework And a brotherhood of men who refuse to quit   – Follow Coach Frank: IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@CoachFrankRich   Website - https://www.rebuiltrecovery.com/homepage

Email me here:  sam@healingcouples.org   Episode show notes: In this episode, we dive deep into the real root cause of pornography addiction and why so many men feel stuck in a cycle of porn addiction, compulsive porn use, and porn relapse even when they genuinely want to change. If you've been trying to overcome porn urges, struggling with constant pornography triggers, or fighting to implement strong relapse prevention strategies but still fall back into old patterns, this conversation reveals what's actually driving the cycle beneath the surface. We explore how unmet needs for worth, acceptance, and emotional stability fuel the urge to escape into porn, why external validation never satisfies the deeper wound behind porn addiction, and how shame blocks men from receiving the love and reassurance that would support real healing. You'll hear a powerful breakdown of why willpower alone can't stop pornography compulsions, why avoiding triggers isn't enough, and why so many men seek attention or emotional validation outside their marriage while also battling chronic porn addiction behaviors. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating porn addiction recovery, porn addiction counseling, emotional healing, rebuilding trust in marriage, or trying to understand what causes porn habits to feel so overwhelming. Whether you're working to stop porn for good or supporting someone you love through porn addiction recovery, this conversation offers a clear and compassionate look at the emotional and relational dynamics driving the cycle — and what finally begins to break it.

When I first started building a real recovery lifestyle, I believed the answer to breaking porn addiction was more control — more discipline, more structure, more “push harder.”But the truth is, that mindset only kept me trapped in dopamine overload, emotional numbness, and a constant battle against myself.In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jeremy Lipkowitz — former Buddhist monk, mindfulness teacher, and founder of The Unhooked Academy — to explore a radically different, science-backed path to freedom from porn addiction. Together, we break down how chronic stimulation from smartphones, social media, and porn fragments your attention, dysregulates your nervous system, and keeps you from feeling present, alive, and connected to the people you love.We dive into the neuroscience behind dopamine dysregulation, the psychology of shame and perfectionism, and the emotional patterns that keep men locked in compulsive behavior. I share what happened during my own 30-day presence challenge — how putting my phone away transformed my marriage, my mental clarity, and my sense of identity — and why learning to cultivate presence, embodiment, and noble pleasure is essential to losing your desire for porn.This conversation blends neuroscience, mindfulness, masculine leadership, and real emotional healing to show you how to rewire your brain, regulate your emotions, and build a recovery mindset defined by presence, purpose, and genuine internal peace.In This Episode, We Explore: • Why willpower and white-knuckling fail — and how awareness and emotional regulation create real freedom from porn addiction • How dopamine overload from technology and porn trains your brain for distraction, restlessness, and chronic dissatisfaction • The difference between base pleasures and noble pleasures — and how earned dopamine rebuilds identity and direction • How shame, fear, and perfectionism fuel addiction — and how to transform painful emotions instead of escaping them • The role of mindfulness, presence, and embodiment in healing the nervous system and rewiring cravings • Why smartphone addiction and porn addiction are neurologically intertwined — and how a simple phone detox can reset your brain • How relational connection, vulnerability, and community become powerful antidotes to cravings and isolation • Practical methods to rewire your brain through mindfulness, intentional routines, and recovery-focused habitsIf you've been fighting yourself in recovery,  this conversation will help you make peace with your mind, reconnect with your body, and build a lifestyle where porn no longer has a pull on you.You don't overcome porn addiction by forcing yourself to be stronger. You overcome it by becoming more present, more aware, and more connected to what truly brings you life.Link to the Blog Article for This Episode If you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, visit NoMoreDesire.com and apply for my 1-on-1 Porn Addiction Recovery Coaching Program.

This episode (#310) examines one of the most complex issues couples face after sexual betrayal: determining which details about an addict's behavior genuinely help the betrayed partner heal, and which unintentionally deepen her trauma. When discovery occurs, a partner's neurological fight-flight-freeze system activates, compelling her to search for every possible detail to regain safety. Drawing directly from Dr. Minwalla's concept of Integrity Abuse Disorder, we explain how the addict's secret sexual basement—and the manipulated reality that hides it—creates profound emotional and psychological abuse. The partner's desire for information is not curiosity; it is a survival response to having lived in a world where truth was withheld.The episode distinguishes between helpful disclosures that rebuild shared reality (timelines, behaviors, frequency, categories of sexual contact, and STI-related information) and harmful disclosures that load the partner's mind with unnecessary and intrusive content. Details like physical body features, sexual positions, explicit phrases, porn search terms, or exact locations provide no increased safety or accountability. Instead, they create trauma triggers the partner will carry into daily life for years—images that do not help her move forward and often make healing far more difficult.Because both addicts and partners are emotionally overwhelmed in the early stages of recovery, we stress the vital importance of formal therapeutic disclosure and the dangers of “trickle disclosure.” Without clinical guidance, couples often share information impulsively during moments of crisis, leading to retraumatization rather than relief. We teach addicts how to hold boundaries that protect the partner—not by hiding truth, but by committing to share everything in the safe structure of therapy. Ultimately, the article reinforces that transparency is essential and partners deserve the full truth, but truth must be delivered wisely. When done with support, honesty becomes a pathway to grounding, stability, and genuine relational rebuilding rather than a new source of trauma.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   When are Specific Details about an Addict's Behavior Helpful or Harmful for a Partner?  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

Sometimes in recovery, we can confuse struggling in an area of recovery with the reality of defining freedom. What does freedom look like and does that mean we won't struggle if we are to say we are walking in freedom? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery will provide some language around helping us reframe what it means to walk in freedom with codependency as we struggle to live life on life's terms.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we sit down with men's rights advocate Chloe Roma to unpack the modern “gender war,” men's mental health, and how online hate culture like the “kill all men” trend reshaped her life and purpose. Chloe shares her personal story of growing up watching her father be emotionally abused, how social media exposed her to extreme misandry, and why she decided she “couldn't stay quiet anymore.” Together we dive into men's advocacy, the men's suicide crisis, childhood trauma, adoption, the impact of domineering mothers, and the very real cost she's paid for speaking up, including being doxxed, threatened, and pushed to a near-fatal suicide attempt.You'll also hear a raw conversation about modern feminism, double standards between men and women, and how pornography addiction, OnlyFans culture, and early exposure to explicit content are rewiring an entire generation. We talk about the crucial role of wives and mothers in a man's life, how women can become powerful advocates for their husbands and sons, why body shaming, emotional abuse, and manipulation of men are minimized, and what healthy boundaries and accountability actually look like in marriages and relationships. If you care about men's mental health, marriage, masculinity, women's role in men's healing, and breaking toxic feminist echo chambers, this episode will challenge your beliefs and give you language, perspective, and practical insight you can take back into your home and your community.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.
