My Addict Blames Me for His Addictions! - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2022-09-30T15:22:11
Dr. Rob and Tami are not surprised by some people’s behavior, especially when they’re deep in their addiction. A betrayed spouse writes in saying her SA husband does not want to reconcile. He blames her for her monogamy and the feminist agenda for corrupting her and causing him to act out. Can a CSAT help a man like this? Dr. Rob and Tami answer her painful question.
