Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this encore episode of Supported Sobriety, Katie Davis dives into the intricate dynamics of supporting a partner struggling with pornography addiction. She opens up about her personal experiences and the challenges she faced while trying to support her husband, Matt Davis, in his recovery journey. The episode reveals that what many women perceive as support might inadvertently be contributing to their partner's struggles.
Katie candidly shares her initial attempts to help her husband by monitoring his every move, checking his search history, and setting up recovery plans, only to find that these well-intentioned actions were counterproductive. Instead of helping, they often led to frustration and a sense of control that was not beneficial for either party. Katie offers an insightful perspective on how these actions can make husbands feel victimised and less empowered to take charge of their own recovery.
Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on how to genuinely support their partners without falling into the trap of control. Katie emphasises the importance of focusing on self-healing and transformation, rather than attempting to change one's partner. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone seeking to support a loved one struggling with addiction while maintaining their own peace and wellbeing.
If you've ever wondered how to best support your partner through addiction without losing yourself in the process, this episode is a must-listen. Discover the power of self-transformation as a pathway to true support.
