Spouse Webinar Feb. 22nd Replay

Play

Here is the replay of the webinar from last night, audio only. We apologize but Tony’s voice was not heard in the Q&A portion but we included all the audible audio. We mentioned some companies for tracking and accountability software. Here are the links to the companies that we talked about on the webinar: (highly recommend Saavi, because it helps to build Trust)

  1. Saavi Accountability – Internet Accountability Software (does not work on Macs)
    This software allows you to set up on multiple computers and then each week you will be mailed reports on the activity of each computer. This flags some possible pornographic sites. You can also have them email you or send a text so that you can help the individual before they slip. You can also see the videos that were viewed. If you’re struggling with porn, we recommend this software.
  2. Net Nanny is still a leader in blocking pornography
  3. K9 Web Protection is really good
  4. LittlEye is a new one but seems really good.
Reminder our spouse treatment system will be out in March. We will keep you posted.

Thanks for joining us. Our next webinar will be in March and we will keep you posted. :)

 

Q & A: Sexual Addiction – Not Spouses Fault

Play

Q: Am I not available enough for my spouse or giving them what they want?

A: I don’t look at this addiction that way. A spouse can be totally available and very responsive in an intimate relationship. It doesn’t really have that much to do with the addiction. Yes it can be trigger if there is a fight and it can be a challenge if a spouse is not responsive. They do play into it but it is not a spouses fault if they choose to act out.

If there are those problems in a relationship, it is the responsibility of the spouse to communicate with one another.

It is always a challenge between a husband and wife. Men on average like a physical connection 2 to 3 times a week. Women generally are ok with once one to two weeks. This is generally speaking but as a general consensus this what I have noticed as I have counseled with couples.
