Book Summary
Your Sexually Addicted Spouse explores the profound impact sexual addiction has not only on the individual but, critically, on their partner. Drawing on groundbreaking research, the authors frame the partner's experience as trauma—with symptoms akin to PTSD—rather than codependency. The book walks readers through stages of discovery, betrayal, emotional upheaval, and the path toward healing. It includes powerful real-life case studies, guided reflection questions at the end of each chapter ("On a Personal Note"), strategies for managing crises, and anchor points for self-care. Helpful appendices offer lists of mental-health professionals, clergy, and support resources.
Therapeutically oriented, the book emphasizes deciphering trauma responses, establishing boundaries, and encouraging partners to reclaim their sense of self—whether they choose to stay in the relationship or not . Reviews highlight its compassionate tone and evidence-based approach, with Library Journal calling it “sensible and authoritative” and noting that it serves both partners and counselors.
