Renowned expert Andrea Epting joins us on Pleasure Principles to explore the heart-rending journey of healing intimacy after betrayal. With nearly two decades of experience in mental health and sexual wellness, Andrea shares profound insights into the complex recovery paths couples may face when trust is shattered. You'll gain a deep understanding of the non-linear nature of healing and the importance of individual recovery before progressing to couples therapy. Listen as we uncover the transformative potential of addressing deep-seated wounds while navigating the challenging terrain of betrayal, particularly when compounded by cycles of abuse or addiction.

Together, Andrea and I dissect the intricate process of rebuilding trust and intimacy, especially in relationships grappling with sexual dysfunction and compulsive behaviors. We stress the significance of communication, holding space for emotions, and safe vulnerability exploration. Discover practical techniques for initiating intimacy and explore the intersection of sexual compulsivity and betrayal. With a typical recovery timeline of 18 to 24 months, we also delve into educating partners about the neuroscience of trauma and addiction. Concluding with a message of courage and compassion, this episode is a beacon of hope and connection for anyone facing these challenges.
