Help for Partners of Sex Addicts

Seattle Christian Counseling

We Offer the Support You Need

Support for partners of sex addicts depends on the unique experiences of each person. Some come to counseling while their partner goes through sexual addiction treatment, for others, their partner doesn’t want to face their addiction. Maybe you need help sorting through the many confusing and painful emotions you carry, or maybe you want to learn how to forgive and help your partner through their recovery. Whatever brings you to us, we have the support, insight, and tools you need to close this chapter in your life and move into new beginnings through Christ.

Am I Married to a Sex Addict?

Discovering that your partner has a problem with things like pornography use or infidelity can be life-shattering, and you might find yourself overwhelmed with confusion and intense emotions. Is this normal? Could I have caused this? These sorts of questions are very common. You might even find yourself making excuses for your partner’s behavior rather than confronting them and dealing with the pain it makes you feel.

If you wonder whether or not your partner has a sex addiction problem, consider these common signs of sexual addiction:

  • Staying up late on the Internet or watching TV.
  • Frequently isolating themselves from you without letting you know his or her.
  • Being Controlling during sexual activity or have frequent mood swings before or after sex.
  • Gets angry if someone expresses concern about his or her pornography use.
  • Seems to be preoccupied with sexual thoughts or behaviors.
  • Is increasingly
  • Hides pornography at work or home.

Many who suspect that their partner has a problem with sexual addiction don’t know how to handle the situation. If that sounds like you, we can offer practical solutions and advice. Whether or not he or she is ready to get help, Christian counseling can still be very helpful for you.

How Christian Counseling Can Help You

Realizing that your partner struggles with sexual addiction can be very traumatic, causing things like anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, and worrying over every detail related to their addiction and transgressions. In fact, about 70 percent of partners of sex addicts experience a form of post-traumatic stress disorder, severely limiting his or her ability to function; they might even feel they are “losing their mind.” Having someone to lean on during this very stressful, confusing, and emotional time can help you process what you’re going through so you can heal faster.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. – Psalm 34:18

You might feel that your spirit has been crushed and your heart broken by betrayal, and understandably so. At Seattle Christian Counseling, our hope is to help you find peace and rest in the calm of Christ Jesus as He brings you guidance and healing. The path to recovery is different for everyone. Our counselors will help you discover what that means for you.

Common goals of Christian counseling for partners of sex addicts include:

  • Discovering healthy ways to process your emotions.
  • Growing your relationship with yourself, others, and with Christ.
  • Finding tools for supporting your partner’s recovery.
  • Helping you break away from enabling or codependent behaviors.
  • Moving towards forgiveness and peace.

The pain you feel now won’t last forever. At Seattle Christian Counseling, we hope to help you come out, this time,stronger, healthier, and more connected with yourself, your partner, and with Christ Jesus.
