Using a trauma-model approach, From Betrayal Trauma to Healing & Joy: A Workbook for Partners of Sex Addicts, provides a healing pathway women can follow, either individually or in a support group. Beginning with the raw pain betrayal trauma victims experience, this well-researched, soul-searching guide sensitively uses a forward-moving process, enabling women to come to understand their losses, grieve them, grow through them, and go on to heal. With a balance of educational content and penetrating, therapeutic questions, women review what has happened in their relationship and process it as they journal their answers to the workbook's self-reflective questions. As they do, they learn to use important new tools and skills and gain new strengths that equip them for the challenges they face, whether their relationship heals, or comes to an end. Chapter by chapter, women learn what it takes to share one's life with a man working to stay free from sex addiction. And as they grow and evaluate their options, they gain new insight and clarity, enabling them to choose the next best steps for their own lives. This workbook is compatible with Your Sexually Addicted Spouse: How Partners Can Cope and Heal, which the author wrote with Dr. Barb Steffens. And it is the 4th edition of the workbook formerly titled, Journey to Healing & Joy: A Workbook for Partners of Sex Addicts.
