What Does Good Couples Therapy Look Like? - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2022-02-09T16:33:26
Dr. Rob and Tami understand that being with a sex addict for years can be hard to accept. They answer a question from a betrayed spouse who has been separated from her partner for over three years, and still sees no progress in his addiction despite him going to CSAT meetings. What should she do? Dr. Rob and Tami also answer a question on what good and healthy couples therapy looks like, and what they should do prior to going into a session in this week’s episode.
