In this week’s episode, I have a discussion with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife about how to reclaim personal sexuality in recovery from sexual betrayal. This is a confusing topic for those who have sexually betrayed their partner and for those partners who have been sexually betrayed. These are the some of the questions I hear on a regular basis from couples who are working through sexual betrayal:

  • What to we do about sex after betrayal?
  • My own sexuality feels so altered, how do I get it back? 
  • What if I don’t want to have sex or be a sexual person?

This is an episode for people in all stages of recovery – from early in the healing process or later when you’re trying to navigate a new sexual relationship.  In this episodes we discuss:

  • How sexual betrayal impacts individual sexuality for both the unfaithful and the betrayed.
  • What individual and couple factors influence how deeply sexuality is impacted.
  • The steps individual might consider as they begin reclaiming their sexuality.
  • The roadblocks that get in the way of reclaiming personal sexuality in the wake of sexual betrayal.
  • The growth we see as individuals work to reclaim their sexuality.
