If you believe your spouse has a sex or porn addiction, how do you talk to them about it? Licensed psychologist and sex addiction expert Dr. Doug Weiss walks through practical steps on how to discuss this sensitive matter with your spouse and how to navigate their potential responses.

Being in a relationship with someone struggling with sex or porn addiction can be deeply painful and isolating. The emotional distance, rejection, and confusion can leave you wondering how to even start the conversation to address the issue. Here, you'll learn when and where to have the conversation, the type of questions to ask, and how to stay grounded, regardless of how they respond (whether they’re ready for recovery or still in denial).

If you’re seeking direction, understanding, and the next steps for healing, this video will give you the tools to communicate with clarity and courage. Even if they choose not to get help, you can get support and healing for yourself.

For counseling and support, contact Heart to Heart Counseling Center at 719-278-3708 or email heart2heart@xc.org to connect with a certified therapist who can help you start your healing journey. For accelerated recovery, book a 3-Day or 5-Day Intensive to get a lot of specialized help in a short amount of time.
