  • Invaluable Resource

    This podcast provides education, practical advice and insights, yet leads with care and compassion for the individual. Kristin and Michael truly understand the world of unwanted sexual behavior and its impact of betrayal trauma to partners. Every episode is relevant and useful, and I find this is the one podcast where I listen to episodes more than once - and take notes!

  • Heavy handed

    Host is a Democrat bashing Republican, which is fine but not in scope of a sex addiction podcast. Shame on you, and shame on your political party.

  • So very thoughtful

    This podcast is so very thoughtful and concerned for my trauma. My husband decided to divorce rather than repent. Now I realize his “withdrawal” throughout our 26+ year marriage was all part of the gaslighting as a result of his porn addiction, which he was able to keep completely secret for 22+ years. It has rocked my world to face divorce at 60. As Kristin interviewed Tammy, I felt encouraged that I still have value. My husband’s lies are his reality and not mine. Thank you Kristin!!

  • Grateful

    I just listened to Kristin’s interview with Dr. Juli Slattery, and it was so helpful for me, almost as if I had experienced a personal counseling session. There was a big ‘a-ha’ moment during the first half of the episode where it helped me understand some feelings I’d been having in my own recovery journey that I previously misunderstood. I appreciate guests like Dr. Juli who do such a great job educating and normalizing difficult feelings along this complicated and unique path to healing and w... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What to Do If He Relapses: Creating a Relapse Safety Plan for Clarity and Stability with Lyschel Burkett

Start with definitions of slip vs relapse, then identify needs across six categories and document who to contact and what safeguards to put in place.
What to Do If He Relapses: Creating a Relapse Safety Plan for Clarity and Stability with Lyschel Burkett
Q: Why is it important to create a plan of how you're going to care for yourself and what you're going to do if there's a relapse?
The plan provides a framework to stay regulated, maintain self-trust, and avoid making rushed, emotionally-driven decisions during crisis.
Autonomy & Faith: Reclaiming Your Voice Without Rebellion | Part 2 with Anna Seiple
Q: What does it look like to slow down and examine the relationship between autonomy and sin, and how can we reframe autonomy to nourish faith and relationships?
The guest and host discuss distinguishing autonomy from mere willful rebellion, emphasizing that healthy autonomy supports love of God and neighbor, and that power dynamics should enable safe space for authentic voice rather than control.
Autonomy & Faith: Reclaiming Your Voice Without Rebellion | Part 2 with Anna Seiple
Q: This is a tough one. Anna, tell me a little bit more about why this topic is so meaningful to you.
Anna explains that exposure to spiritual trauma and the experience of religious power dynamics led her to explore how autonomy develops in childhood and how its suppression in faith contexts can cause deep harm; she ties this to professional work in counseling and healing.
Surrendered Sexuality: How Knowing Jesus Changes Everything with Dr. Juli Slattery
Q: What practical steps should churches and individuals take when someone reveals a struggle with sexual sin or betrayal?
Respond with affirmation, acknowledge the pain, provide compassionate, trauma-informed care, connect to long-term resources—counseling, support groups, and spiritual mentorship—and avoid quick theological platitudes that invalidate the person's experience.
