What secrets to maintaining sobriety can be uncovered? In this engaging episode, Katie Davis addresses a phrase many might find familiar: 'I can handle the porn, I just can't handle the lying.' She delves into the complexities of betrayal in relationships, especially when it comes to pornography addiction and the accompanying deceit. Through personal anecdotes, Katie shares her journey of healing from betrayal and offers listeners a fresh perspective on how lying and addiction are intertwined.
Katie candidly discusses how her own experiences with lying, albeit about a diaper change, opened her eyes to the emotional turmoil that leads individuals to lie. She emphasises that lying isn't a separate character flaw but rather part of the same problem as addiction. The episode highlights the importance of emotional regulation and understanding that both lying and addiction stem from the same root cause.
Listeners are encouraged to focus on their own emotional safety and healing rather than trying to change their partner. Katie provides valuable advice on setting boundaries that protect oneself while fostering an environment of honesty and vulnerability. Her message is clear: healing is possible, and it starts with transforming oneself. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with betrayal or supporting someone through addiction.
