Summary

We have a very special episode today that’s a little bit different. Since we started the show we have wanted to talk to someone who has been on the other side of these stories, and then one day we got an email from a man named Jim who wanted to come on do exactly that. Today Jim, a recovering chronic cheater and sex addict, tells us his story to share the red flags that women missed while dating him. Along with Jim we have Marnie Breeker & Duane Osterlind of the Helping Couples Heal podcast to give us some insight on sex addiction and betrayal trauma.

If you or someone you know relates to anything you heard on today's show please visit https://helpingcouplesheal.com/resources/ for information on books, podcasts, hotlines, and in person/ virtual mental health care.
