Empathy

The author of Getting The Love You Want and Imago Pioneer Dr. Harville Hendrix just gifted us another beautiful blog on Empathy. In this amazing essay, Hendrixs suggests that "Since empathy is our felt sense of connection to everyone and everything everywhere,when it is intact, everything and everyone is safe.
When it is not, we cannot feel the otherness of others. Then everything and everyone everywhere is an object,and we can harm them without remorse,not knowing that we are harming ourselves."

I have been blessed to study with Dr. Hendrix and use his powerful teachings and tools in my work and life.I urge you to check out this blog...

Trauma Resolution For Couples Impacted By Sex Addiction

The Institute for Sexual Health (ISH) approaches the psychological treatment of partners and spouses utilizing the Sex Addiction Trauma Model developed by Dr. Omar Minwalla, Silvia Jason, MFT, CSAT and Dr. Barbara Steffens. The Trauma Model recognizes and addresses the initial and ongoing trauma symptoms experienced by partners and spouses of sex addicts.

As a key component of The Partner and Spouse Program, The Trauma Model Workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to identify, share and process the impact of their partner’s sex addiction on their lives, which serves as a therapeutic and educational foundation for relational healing. However, while awareness is a crucial step in healing, it does not necessarily resolve trauma.
