Betrayal trauma caused by loving someone with a sex/porn addiction can cause partners to lose connection with her own truth and create an environment in which it is difficult for her to take care of herself. Betrayed partners often don’t know what their boundaries are or they don’t know how to establish them in their relationships.
In this series of 8 videos, betrayed partners of sex and porn addicts will learn about healthy boundaries and will be guided how to identify and establish their own. Through this series, partners will learn the BASIC principles of healthy boundaries and 5 steps to creating them.
In this video, we will discuss the S of the BASIC principles for healthy boundaries: Sustain Your Boundaries Through Following Through. Often, the hardest part about having healthy boundaries is following through over time. Betrayed partners often struggle to believe they deserve to take care of themselves and may run into self-doubt when trying to take action on their boundaries. Add in the confusion of gas-lighting, deception, or blame-shifting they may experience from their addicted loved one and it can become almost impossible for some partners to establish healthy boundaries. This video will explore these dynamics and give some tips for how to follow through and sustain your boundaries.
