Learn how a therapeutic couples vacation, somatic intimacy retreat, or private marriage intensive can help you rebuild trust, reignite passion, and create a secure, loving relationship — even after porn addiction has shaken your foundation.Katie Ziskind approaches porn addiction in couples not just as a sexual issue, but as a symptom of deeper emotional wounds often rooted in childhood trauma and experiences with narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parents. Many individuals turn to pornography to self-soothe unmet needs for validation, safety, or emotional regulation. In her somatic couples therapy retreats, Katie Ziskind helps couples uncover these underlying dynamics. By identifying these patterns, partners learn how porn use may have served as a coping mechanism, and they are guided through trauma-informed, nervous-system-based interventions to heal the original wounds.
