Don't give up on your recovery

Have you ever felt like the effort you’re putting into your recovery just isn’t paying off? Like no matter how hard you try, you’re stuck in the same place? If you're struggling with the urge to give up on your healing journey, know that you're not alone. Many people reach a point where the progress seems too slow or the obstacles too great.

Can trust be rebuilt after infidelity?

Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and when it’s broken by infidelity, the pain can feel insurmountable. Both partners are left reeling—one grappling with the deep hurt and betrayal, the other often caught in a spiral of guilt and shame. Rebuilding trust after an affair is one of the most challenging things a couple can face, but it’s important to know that it is possible. We’ve seen it happen time and time again in our practice, but it requires commitment, patience, and a willingness from both parties to do the hard work necessary for healing.

Do not wait for the perfect conditions to start

How often have you caught yourself waiting for the "perfect" moment to take the next step in your life? Whether it’s starting therapy, pursuing a new career, or making a significant life change, we often convince ourselves that the conditions need to be just right. But here's the truth: perfect conditions rarely exist.

Sexual Abuse & Sexual Addiction is there a correlation?

If you’ve experienced sexual abuse in the past, you know all too well the lasting scars it can leave. The trauma doesn’t just disappear; it lingers, influencing the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. For many, the pain of that trauma can be so overwhelming that they turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb it. Sexual addiction, including compulsive use of pornography, is one way some attempt to medicate that deep, unresolved pain - some as young as six or seven years old.

Renewing of your Mind

Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of behaviors that you know aren’t good for you? Many of my clients have struggled with pornography compulsion. It's a difficult habit/addiction to break, and it often feels like you're fighting a losing battle. But there’s hope in Romans 12:2, which talks about being transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Healing = discomfort > acceptance > growth

Healing isn’t easy, and it’s not always a straight path. If you’re just starting your healing journey or if you’re already deep into it, you’ve probably realized that it often involves discomfort, maybe even pain. That’s because real healing requires you to confront things you’ve been avoiding — emotions, memories, or truths that are hard to face. But here’s the thing: discomfort is part of the process.
