It’s All A Lie: Helping Couples Heal from Sexual Addiction and Betrayal Trauma
Heather Seguin, LMFT
Summary:
Sex and porn addiction have gotten a lot of media attention, but what does it really look like? We’ll discuss the dynamics of sex addiction and how it impacts committed relationships. We will focus on distinguishing sex addiction from hurtful behaviors as well as understanding the traumatic impact on betrayed partners. You’ll be able to use the acronym PATHOS to identify addictive behaviors, help partners create boundaries to rebuild trust, guide each partner to an appropriate support network, and alleviate some of the shame that permeates these couples. Many couples choose to stay together and, when both are committed to recovery, develop stronger relationships than they’d had previously. You will learn how to hold hope for them through that journey.
Objectives:
Participants will learn how to:
1. Use PATHOS criteria for assessing sexual addiction
2. Normalize traumatic impact of betrayal for partners of sex addicts
3. Utilize the Boundaries Script for couples to rebuild safety
4. Combat toxic shame and connect couples with 12 step support

President's Message:
Greetings everyone. I hope you all had a happy and festive Halloween. First of all, I would like to thank Stephanie Sherbon for a wonderful presentation on play therapy that she facilitated for us last month. She shared several creative interventions, and gave us wonderful insights into using these interventions to help children process and heal.
Secondly, I would like to take some time to remind you all of the importance of self-care. As we all know, we have a very contentious national election coming up next week. We are also entering the holiday season. Though the holidays can be a very joyful time of year, they can also be very stressful for a number of reasons. Not only are we trying to coordinate our own schedules with regards to holiday gatherings, shopping, and the like, but we are also often addressing the needs of our clients who have suffered losses and for whom the holidays can be a trigger. It can be easy to lose sight of our own needs and well-being in the midst of all of these obligations. I hope you will all take some time to check in with yourselves regularly and make sure you are meeting your own needs, whether that be meditating, exercising, or just remembering to eat lunch! I know that we are a caring and compassionate community, and that we want to do everything we can to help our patients and our loved ones, but in order for that to be sustainable, compassion for one’s self must come first. I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season.
Amanda Cavicchi, President
