Couples + Relationship Counseling

Deciding to work on restoring a relationship impacted by sex addiction induced betrayal trauma is one of the bravest decisions a couple can make. Therefore, it is essential that the therapist be highly skilled in sex addiction treatment, couples’ dynamics, and understand the impact of betrayal trauma.

At Full Heart Recovery we help couples identify and work through the challenges of restoring trust so that safety and intimacy can begin to emerge. Our couples counseling sessions provide a space for betrayed partners to share openly and allow recovering addicts to work through their shame.

We find that when a recovering addict begins to demonstrate real empathy for their partner’s pain, those partners begin to feel supported and more connected, thus opening the door for intimacy. Essential to the couple’s healing process are: transparency, accountability, commitment to recovery and non-violent communication from both partners.

Our therapists are prepared and committed to help couples build new relationships free of shame, rooted in honesty and intimacy.
