Are you feeling shocked, betrayed, devastated, and downright angry after discovering your husband is addicted to pornography? Are you how could he do this to me or, why aren’t I enough for him? Do you wonder if your marriage is over? Are you feeling lost and alone? Life and relationship coach Sandy Brown has been there. Her own experience in surviving the betrayal of her husband’s porn addiction has inspired her to focus her practice on helping other women to do the same. Through her own recovery and her experience with clients, Sandy has developed a process of recovery to empower women at a time when they feel all is lost. Porn Addict's Wife shows readers that they are not alone in feeling shattered by their husband’s sexual addiction, and teaches them how and with whom they can safely share their story. By providing resources for readers to get real help for both themselves and their spouse, it provides guidance to healing and rebuilding a normal life.
Literally read it in 2 days. I am very glad to have found this book because they’re is still not a lot of material on this subject, surprisingly considering how many women and couples are struggling with this new addiction. It provides great tools and insights into how to take care of yourself first of all and then to be kind to your partner by stopping the hatred cycle. The only thing I wish she touched more on is her husbands recovery journey or maybe having other peoples stories anonymously shared, so we can se the depths and things others have experienced and dealt with. I’m not married but none the less it is helpful if you want to understand the subject with a new and hopeful perspective.
I have read many books on support for the spouse of a porn addict. This book has really impacted me in a positive no nonsense way. If u want to read a book full of great support and advice. This is for u
Gave me a different perspective on what happens in the brain with porn adduction. Was an easy interesting read . Would recommend this to anyone struggling with understanding the pain behind this kind of betrayal.
This was very well written. It felt like one long therapy session. Sandy really understood what the reader was going through and gives so many tools on not only dealing with the issue at hand but moving forward!
This is an excellent book from the sex addicts partners point of view. There is so much shame and secrecy around sex addiction, even among addiction recovery peers, making it difficult for the partner of an addict to find adequate support. Sandy Brown breaks down the science of sex addiction and the damage it does to the addicts partner. She then offers empowering yet compassionate steps to facilitate the partners recovery. Thank you, Sandy Brown, for this gift!
a woman goes out of town with a gal pal and something (not worth mentioning) happens, so, she calls hubs, two hours away to come be with her, he does not respond?
later, after returning home he asks her to look at his electronic device as he his not tech savvy, and she finds adult content! she flips.
this shares the stages of grief and ways to handle the situation. he falls back into it. occasional insight, occasional swearing.
Such a good perspective on the effects of this addiction and what it does to families and marriages. As a man that has dealt with this addiction myself it was important for me to read Sandy’s experience strength and hope. Thank you for your contribution to this world and I hope this brings healing to many families and finally puts an end to this awful addiction.
