You Re-Build Trust Over Time By Taking Things Slow - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2021-02-25T14:38:33
Rob and Tami discuss whether it makes sense for a sex addict to invest in a dating coach, how to tell if your addict is really genuine in their feelings, and share how to have the right mindset when you’re going through a treatment program for the first time. Trust and intimacy take time to build and it’s important to trust the process and journey you’re going on. The one thing addicts hate is taking things slow, but that’s exactly what you need to do to build trust.
