How Do I Regain Her Trust and How Do I Trust Her? - a podcast by Steve Moore & Mark Kastleman
from 2020-07-27T16:00
Two of the BIG questions we hear a LOT from recovering porn/sex addicts is: "How do I get her to trust me again?" and "How do I trust her?" In this episode Mark and Steve get raw and practical about the answers to these critical questions—
How do I regain her trust?
- The basis for your spouse trusting you again involves YOU developing consistency in several areas of recovery—not just sobriety.
- There is NO way to MAKE her trust you, so QUIT pressuring her! "Neediness" will NEVER develop trust!
- Your wife needs you to be a SUPPORT in her healing—learn how.
- Be accountable for YOUR role in her PAIN.
How do I trust her?
- Validating your own pain and shame is a CRUCIAL first step.
- You have to LET GO of the "shoulds" about how and when to trust.
- Let go of any lingering responsibility for her recovery, trauma responses, future choices, etc.
- In some respects, the LESS you need the relationship, the MORE you will be able to trust it.
- Work on your own healing—knowing YOU will be OK regardless of what she decides, will allow YOU to show up in the relationship again.
- Trust is a CHOICE. At the end of the day, only YOU can make that decision.
