As difficult as addiction and betrayal are, recovery is always possible through the cleansing and healing power of the atonement of Jesus Christ !

As a former therapist to sexual offenders in prison, I'm glad this podcast helps spouses who survive betrayal trauma recognize that p*rn*graphy has become a coping mechanism for emotional distress and is not the spouse's fault. However, it is important to understand that the viewer objectifies and sexualizes the people in those images. That brings arousal and physical release which activates the "feel good" chemicals of dopamine, epinephrine, and oxytocin. It is essential that the viewer find other coping strategies that will help them develop emotional resilience and strengthen the emotional foundation of their relationships.

I am a man betrayed ‘twice’ by my wife. I have taken the counsel of priesthood leadership and tried to live the Doctrine of Christ. I wish there was some attention paid to “men.” It hurts like hell that no one in the Church offers help to the man. Women always help women. I was and have been abandoned by my priesthood leadership.
