Nothing destroys trust like sexual betrayal. Beyond broken vows, a woman who discovers that her husband has been viewing pornography or having an affair must deal with devastating blows to her self-image and self-worth. She must grapple with the fact that the man she thought she knew has lied and deceived her. She may even bear the brunt of shame and judgment when the people around her find out. Drawing from her experience both as a marriage and family therapist and a woman who personally experienced the devastation of sexual betrayal, Dr. Sheri Keffer walks women impacted by betrayal through the pain and toward recovery. She explains how the trauma of betrayal affects our minds, bodies, spirits, and sexuality. She offers practical tools for dealing with emotional triggers and helps women understand the realities of sexual addiction. And she shows women how to practice self-care, develop healthy boundaries, protect themselves from abuse or manipulation, and find freedom from the burden of shame and guilt.

If your husband has a sexual addiction of any type or has misbehaved in any sexual manner and you are feeling a lot of pain and/or anger, I highly, highly, highly recommend this book! Whether your husband has just viewed a lot of porn or has slept with every prostitute, male and female, in town, you will find hope and healing in this book.
This book is very firmly rooted in science, particularly neuroscience. There is serious PHYSICAL damage that happens to your brain when you discover that the husband that promised to be sexually faithful to you hasn't lived up to his end of the bargain.
This book will help you heal the physical, emotional, spiritual, and other damage caused to your whole person in the aftermath.
If you are male and have had an unfaithful wife, this book will also assist you. The book mostly is directed to women because the VAST majority of self-help books are purchased by women. Men tend to wander around aimlessly and never ask for directions or assistance and they don't usually purchase this type of book, but if you are one of those rare gems, this book can be used by you as well--though most, if not all, of the example stories are of women who were cheated on.
This book is written for a Christian audience. The vast majority of Christian content is in 2 chapters: chapter 13 Where is God now? and the last chapter 20. If you skip over these because they aren't relevant to you, you will still find that the other 200+ pages that are rooted in science are very, very helpful. For the Christians that care about this, she has just a tiny bit of the name it and claim it theology (Christianese version of manifestation) that creeps in. Those sentences can be tossed out and the rest of the book is very good.
The author is a pioneer in the study of betrayal trauma. She has a doctorate in marriage and family therapy. I highly, highly recommend this book for anyone who has been sexually betrayed. (
