Directory overview

What it is

Most sex-addiction recovery focuses on the addict's sobriety, and a common outcome is a man who is genuinely sober, genuinely frustrated, and completely unable to grasp why his wife is still in pain months later. Carol Juergensen Sheets, a CSAT, wrote this workbook to close that gap: it teaches empathy as a set of learnable skills rather than a feeling you either have or don't. Exercises walk through how to hear what she is telling him without defending himself, how to make a real amends rather than an apology that asks for absolution, how to sit in her pain without rushing her out of it, and how to make his recovery visible rather than private. Written directly to the person who caused the injury, which makes it one of very few resources in this directory aimed at his role in her healing rather than his own. Best used alongside a therapist or a group, and best given when he is sober enough to hear it.
