Healing from Sex Addiction and Betrayal Trauma

Therapist and ministry leader Marnie Ferree shares her personal journey of recovery from sexual abuse and sexual addiction, which led to her clinical work and the establishment of Bethesda Workshops. Marnie tells about her mother’s struggle as the partner of a prominent pastor who was a sex addict in the 1950s, and how painful it was for her mom and devastating to the whole family. Marnie also encourages partners to pursue personal healing, regardless of what their husbands do. She and Michael talk through what it looks like for an addict to rebuild trust, the process of forgiveness, how to care for self, and accessing God's presence during this painful season.
