Joint counseling scared me. I had disclosed to my counselor but not my wife. I was afraid of how this would work. Would this be beneficial? Would my wife walk out? How would my counselor recommend we move forward? Join me as I enter this session and come out with a more clear direction of next steps.

Part D – Jorge and Doug discuss the next aspect of working Step 4 in sex addiction recovery. If you haven’t listened to steps 1-3, it may be a good idea to listen to episode 31 (Step 3), episode 20 (step 2), and episodes 9/10 (step one). Also parts A, B, and C of step four were released a few days before this episode.
In this podcast, they discuss how to work through the harms we have done to others or have been done to us. We take ownership for our part in those harms, and pave the way for future step work by identifying them now. They also discuss the “deep dark secrets” and how those are detrimental to recovery. Step 5 is an avenue to release those, so after successful completion of Step 4, that work can be done more fully!

In this podcast, they discuss how to work through fears. Often we feel that fear is a weakness that should be forgotten about or not dealt with. In recovery, we see the importance of facing these fears in appropriate ways, so that we don’t medicate sexually to avoid them. Jorge and Doug discuss what fears are and appropriate ways to work through them and release them to God.

Isolating for me is easy. Changing that behavior is hard. Walk with me as I respond to challenges from my counselor to reach out to other men. I am trying to break out of isolation and move into building intimacy with other men and modeling that for a future relationship with my wife.
