Book recommendations

Love You, Hate the Porn
Hold Me Tight
Those both helped us.

 

The porn trap
Your brain on porn (is a actual book)

 

"Erotic Intelligence" by Alex Katehakis, is about how to transition to intimate sex after sex addiction. Amazing book!

"Treating Trauma From Sexual Betrayal" by Dr. Kevin Skinner. One of my favourites for helping with Betrayal Trauma.

"A Couple's Guide to Sexual Addiction" by George Collins and Palomina....something....Excellent book.

"Breaking The Cycle" by George Collins-my husband's favourite book on sex addiction and why it happens and how to stop it.

These are my favourites. I have read a crazy amount of books about this shit we have been dealt with. My CSAT told me stop reading and start feeling lol

 

Mating in captivity by Ester Perel

 

I just keep thinking that if I logically understand it then it won't hurt so much.

 

I get this feeling, me too. But it just doesn't work. I can't get the logic behind it no matter how hard I try. Infidelity isn't logical.

 

Love must be tough by James Dobson

 

Sex Addiction: The Partner's Perspective by Paula Hall
Moving Beyond Betrayal (This book helps with boundaries.) Vicki Tidwell Palmer

^^^This is a good point. I've wrestled with this as well. At first, I felt I needed to get a 'baseline' of knowledge about sex addiction (porn addiction is a type of sex addiction). I made the mistake of spending too much of my day focused on reading/learning and not living my life and spending time doing the things I enjoy. I think it's pretty common, though.

The CSAT psychologist we worked with recommends that the addict spends a good deal of time with recovery materials (maximized boost in recovery) and that the wife or partner spends a specified / limited amount of time daily on her recovery which looks very different from the addict's recovery.

There are several recovery books written for us, as well, some do have some Christian elements. When that's a factor, I take what helps me and I leave the rest. If you'd like those, let me know.

 

can anyone suggest me horror books like goosebumps(they are a bit childish) or some psychological thrillers
