Can I Find Peace as My Partner Finds Recovery from Pornography Use? With Bree Swaner [51]

Being in a relationship with someone who is struggling with pornography is not easy. That’s why when Bree Swaner found herself in that situation, she worked to create a support system for herself so that she could support her husband. This week, Creed and Crishelle talk with Bree about how working through your feelings is the first step to being able to be at peace with your partner’s struggles, and how you can start having the tough conversations in your home.

In this episode:

• Don’t be afraid to ask your partner the hard questions about their struggle so you can fully understand the situation.
• Take time for yourself so you can work through the emotions.
• Don’t take responsibility for your partner’s actions.
• Look for support groups with members who are going through similar struggles with betrayal trauma.
