28 - Resources for Recovery

I just discovered my husband looking at pornography- what dod I do?

The importance of connecting to safe, effective, and knowledgeable resources right away after discovery is invaluable for both the betrayed partner and the sex/porn addict.

In this episode Patrick and Kylene discuss effective resources and include the most common links they recommend using to get started below.

For addict:

1) Find a CSAT in your local area https://iitap.com/search/custom.asp?id=5357

 

2) If that's not possible, find a CSAT or sex addiction therapist or coach that works virtually (here are some starting places)
