Episode 35: A Recovery Conversation with Dr. Jake Porter

Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com We are so excited that, today, Dr. Jake Porter is joining our candid conversation. Jake is the founder of Daring Ventures and is both an APSATS certified clinical partner specialist and a CSAT (among other things). Our discussion with Jake, today, revolves around what recovery looks like. We all know that recovery is the goal for a marriage trying to heal from problematic sexual behavior. However, recovery is an elusive entity. I get asked all the time, "What does recovery look like? How will I know he's in recovery?" I asked those same questions and the answer I got, "You'll know it when you see it," felt very unsatisfying. While Pam, Lyschel, and I have definite ideas about recovery, we decided to Jake in to enrich this conversation. We Will be Discussing: What do you define as recovery? (her recovery, his recovery – he may be doing internal stuff but he's not doing anything relationally – and the relationship's recovery)  What is "managing his recovery?" Is this good or bad?  How do I help my husband in his recovery? (Or Do I help my husband with his recovery?)
