Mending a Shattered Heart: A Guide for Partners of Sex Addicts

By: Stefanie Carnes

Narrated by: Deb Thomas

When your partner betrays, what are the first steps to picking up the pieces of your shattered heart?

Many unsuspecting people wake up every day to discover their loved one, the one person whom they are supposed to trust completely, has been living a life of lies and deceit, because they suffer from a disease: sex addiction. This is a disease shrouded in secrecy and shame.

This is your go-to guide for what to do when you discover your partner is a sex addict. Each chapter is based on frequently asked questions by partners, such as: "Should I Stay or Should I Go?", "Is This Going to Get Better?", "How Do I Set Boundaries and Keep Myself Safe?", and "What Should I Tell the Kids?"

This book is a counselor on pages

I loved how the book covers so many aspects of the trauma that one can go through when their spouse betrays their trust through unwanted sexual betrayal. It makes it clear it’s not the partners fault and there are clear understandable explanations about why the betrayer does these things, the root, the responses etc. I feel like so many questions have been answered!

very helpful
