  • Life changing

    This podcast is life-changing. I am a therapist myself, and abuse survivor, and I cannot tell you how hard it has been to find clinicians that get this and good solid clinical information about this topic. Finding this information has personally and professionally changed my life and I will do everything I can to keep spreading the word. Thank you for all you do. You have given me my self and my life back. And you are already helping me help others.

  • First-rate information and compassion

    Unbelievable that such a spot-on, helpful source of information and validation exists. Not just an incredible tool for couples dealing with betrayal trauma but should also be a must-listen for mental health professionals working with individuals impacted by sex addiction.

  • I feel safe here

    I’m a podcast junky and there is a lot of misleading information out there. Some of it damaging. If you’re like me and cannot afford therapy and therefore try to get education via podcasts, articles, etc.

    Marnie is compassionate, educated and professional.

    Thank you for your work. I especially enjoyed ‘Ghosts in the bedroom’ episode. This episode was a powerhouse.

    It’s worth going back for another listen. So much great insight and information from therapists in the ACTUAL trenches.
