Summary

Healing from sexual betrayal is an incredibly important journey. In order to best help partners heal from the trauma experienced through sexual betrayal, we must understand what the partner needs. On today’s episode, we interview the founding president of The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), Dr. Barbara Steffens. Dr. Steffens helps us understand what a partner-sensitive approach looks like (featured in our NEW Betrayal & Beyond resource), how this approach differs from other historical approaches, how the church can better serve betrayed partners, and why healing from betrayal trauma is so important.

0:15.5	Here joining me as always is my co-host, Nick Stumbo.
0:18.7	Live from Troutdale, Oregon, it's Saturday night.
0:23.4	Okay.
0:24.2	Have you ever watched the show Comedians and Cars getting coffee with Jerry Seinfeld?

0:52.8	Jimmy, how's the family?
0:59.6	So it makes me so happy that there's someone out there who sounds like that. Because clearly that's Saturday Night Live. Do you know his name? It's like, no, not really. It's like the

1:17.2	Bowl to him. He's just so excited. Lots of energy. I wonder if his wife's just like, shut up already. Gosh,
