Mending a Shattered Heart: A Guide for Partners of Sex Addicts
Author: Stefanie Carnes, PhD
Overview
When sex addiction shatters trust, partners are often left reeling—grappling with betrayal, trauma, shame, and impossible questions: Should I stay or go? Can this relationship ever be healed? How do I keep myself safe?
In Mending a Shattered Heart, Dr. Stefanie Carnes brings together leading experts in sex addiction and family therapy to offer a compassionate and comprehensive roadmap for partners navigating these painful realities. Written in a practical Q&A format, this guide addresses topics such as boundaries, disclosure, relapse, parenting, and the unique trauma of discovering sexual betrayal.
