The Couples Healing podcast is a resource to help husbands in their porn addiction recovery and to help couples restore the trust and connection again in their marriage. The effects of pornography addiction or sex addiction can be devastating individually and in the relationship, but with the right approach, men can learn how to stop watching porn, heal the pain it causes his wife, and rebuild trust again in the marriage. Each episode is designed to give you new insights, tools, and strategies to help you at each stage of your journey, whether you‘re just now beginning to address the pornography use, or if you‘ve been struggling for many years and still feel stuck. In the podcast, I also share ways for women to feel empowered, safe, and worthy. I also share how the couple can navigate their relationship together after it’s been impacted by pornography and the trust has been broken. Join me, Sam Tielemans, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, as I share my expertise and knowledge to help you find freedom, peace, confidence, connection, and hope.

In the process of overcoming pornography addiction, so many men focus on tracking sobriety. However, there is a big problem with using that as the measurement of success –
• Unintentionally it creates fear, concern and anxiety about when the next time I slip will occur.
• It amplifies discouragement and decreases motivation whenever there is a slip after a long streak occurs
• Focusing on avoiding slips doesn't actually mean you're making progress resolving the core issue
• It often can contribute to dishonesty because a husband doesn't want to disclose to his wife and start from zero
There is a better way to not only more effectively track progress, but do it in a way that increases confidence, contributes to more honesty and openness in the relationship, and creates and mental space of openness and relaxation which actually promotes more growth.
Tune into this episode to understand the small tweak you can Implement today that can have an instant result and how you feel and in your progress.
The previous episode I referenced in this show about how to properly disclose a slip is episode number 87.
