Jon and Jackie welcome Rob Weiss (@robweissmsw) to the podcast.  Rob is an accomplished author, therapist, and advocate for sex addicts in recovery.  Today we talk to Rob about his newest book Out of the Dog House: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating.  Our conversation explores the experience of the spouse who has been cheated on as well as the experience of the person who has done the cheating including what happens for both at discovery/disclosure, initial steps to take for stabilization, and changes and growth that can happen in a relationship post-infidelity.

This is the second installment of Jon and Jackie's side project- The Hidden Trauma Crash Course.  In this episode, we discuss larger workplace dynamics and how they reflect family dynamics.  Human beings have a way of carrying the shadow of their family relationship dynamics with them everywhere they go- even when it isn't helpful.

 

In the last episode in this series, Jon and Jackie talk about what life is like after having trust violated.  Not everything after trauma is bad...

Jackie and Jon continue their conversation about trust- diving into the "Trust Equation" developed by Rodney Napier and Sarah Engel.

We were recently contacted by someone married to a sex addict.  They asked about how to work on trust as part of their healing.  In this episode, we start to tackle the concept of trust.  We will explore what trust is, how it gets damaged in addiction, and why it is difficult to work on in therapy.  There are several approaches to understanding and restoring trust- we mentioned these in this episode:
