Porn Addiction Destroys Trust in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene Relationships

Porn addiction destroys trust in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene relationships. Many of you are saying, “well, duh!” Yes this is obvious. In fact, all relationships touched by any addiction will have problems by that addiction. Yet, as a sexual addiction, porn addiction is different. Porn addiction’s ability to enter betrayal into a relationship is particularly fast, and the healing of that betrayal is particularly slow. Trust instantly vanishes, and sometimes many betrayed partners loose hope that it will return. Many studies show that betrayed partners of porn addiction often take many months to begin trusting again.

It may seem odd, but porn addicts are aware of this risk. Though being aware, it doesn’t seem to keep them from being so careless. With lies and secrets, they cover up their behavior making betrayal unavoidable. It is no wonder trust vanishes and often seems impossible at returning. Porn addicts do not have steady impulse control and do not have the ability to objectively understand the risks of using pornography. This makes them extremely vulnerable to destroying trust in their most important relationships.

Regaining trust requires porn addicts to stop their behavior. It also requires them to begin being truthful, begin learning to listen, and acknowledging sorrow for their behavior. If this process fills addicts with shame or allows them to continue shaming themselves, it will not work. What works is a process that simultaneously leads addicts to a resolve for change and to begin trusting themselves. Coeur d’Alene Counseling’s programs help porn addicts simultaneously regain that trust and develop sustainable resolve for change.
