Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 76 ratings
  • 3/5

    Overall very good and helpful content especially for those early in recovery or the discovery process. Really validates the betrayed partner.

    It loses stars because Tami often comes off very scattered; not finishing sentences or thoughts before starting another one and it’s hard to listen to. Additionally, she mostly piggy backs off of what Dr. Rob says, not really adding much to the conversation. Which makes sense, since he is the mental health and addiction specialist of the two.

  • Good info

I am a psychotherapist licensed in the state of Florida with many certifications in trauma, Anxiety etc. I also hold a Doctorate in Clinical Sexology. I took issue with the idea that only CSAT can help someone who has these sexual issues/betrayal trauma. I am an advanced clinician of many years. I want you to know it’s misinformation to tell someone only CSATS have access to tests. Also, it depends upon region as to who takes insurance. On the... more
