Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery. I'm Anne.

Today I have Laurie Hall with me.

She is the author of An Affair of the Mind,

which was the first book on sex addiction

written from a partner's perspective.

It broke ground in a world that saw the partner as a codipendent,

just as sick in her own way as the addict, which we know is not true,

and Laurie knew at the time wasn't true and she refused to accept that

view and advocated strongly for partners saying that they had been betrayed and

traumatized that they were victims which of course we know that we are.

So Larry has used her book and experience to become a voice for partners.

She's been a guest on over 200 radio and television shows including focus on the family,

Moody, the 700 Club.

She's also done television and radio,

including being interviewed by Laura Ingram,

Extra, Lisa Gibbons, Diane Rien, and many others.

In addition, she's spoken to many colleges and a wide variety of churches across the country. many

in others,

and a wide variety of churches across the country in Canada.

She was the first woman to speak at a

promise-keeper's event because

porn was the number one reason that men went forward for prayer at Promise Keeper's events.
