Dr. Rob and Tami talk about the healing properties a journal practice can have. A listener wrote that her therapist wants her to journal out the resentment and anger that her SA has caused her, but the mere thought of doing this gets her re-triggered and angry all over again. Is there really a point to all of this aside from re-remembering the betrayal?
TAKEAWAYS:
[:25] My SA husband’s entire family has suffered from some sort of sexual addiction or abuse. Is all of this hereditary?
[8:30] How can intermittent reward cause or enhance relationship addiction?
[16:15] What’s the point of writing my betrayal down? I feel so angry just thinking about it.
[18:50] If you have a lot of anger inside you, a journal practice can be very healing.
[19:45] My addict is weaseling out of our initial agreement. What should I do?
[26:05] If you’re not doing the work, then it doesn’t matter what you say or do.
[26:15] He’s sober but still can’t be intimate with me. He says he feels shame. Is this just an excuse?
