57 - 5 Lies That Keep Us Stuck and the Truth That Sets Us Free

1. Telling the truth will hurt my spouse more than my secrets 

 

TRUTH: telling the truth and living in authenticity is ultimately what sets you free

Podcast episode from Conversations with Dr Jennifer: Engage in the Process part 2: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conversations-with-dr-jennifer/id1479472319?i=1000526284277

 

2.Sex is a need 

 

TRUTH - sex is a healthy desire when met in the healthy context of a healthy relationship 

 

3. If I’ve forgiven or committed towards reconciliation it means we can’t talk about it anymore

 

TRUTH - forgiveness frees you from bitterness - it doesn’t release the betrayer from responsibility and it doesn’t eliminate the need for ongoing conversations and relational growth

 

4.Porn isn’t the same as an affair (addicted uses it as an excuse, betrayed feels stuck in pain - both feel the need to qualify) 

 

TRUTH - if you have mutually agreed to a monogamous relationship and pornography does not fit within your spiritual, moral, ethical or personal belief systems, it is cheating

 

5. Sex is how I connect with my partner 

 

TRUTH 

Vulnerability and safety is how you connect with your partner and sex can be part of that
