Dr. Rob and Tami answer a question from a betrayed spouse that experienced sexual assault when she was younger. Her SA partner’s brother was being very disrespectful and chose not to listen to her wishes/boundaries and intentionally triggered her PTSD. When you’re in a situation where you’re with mean or rude family members, what should you do or focus on? Dr. Rob and Tami share their thoughts and advice.
TAKEAWAYS:
[:25] I have performance anxiety and ED issues due to chemsex. How should I communicate this to my urologist?
[4:20] My husband says he has different ‘desires’ for a woman in a magazine vs. on a tv screen. I don’t understand this. Isn’t it the same ‘lust’?
[9:35] My husband said he had sexual relations with other boys in his teen years, but he’s not attracted to men. Is this common among sex addicts?
[12:10] My SA’s brother triggered my PTSD intentionally. How do I navigate this family dynamic when there’s no respect?
[17:55] It’s very hard to stand up for ourselves. Good for you for standing up and setting boundaries!
[20:00] Step-Daughter and Step-Father porn. Should I be concerned?
[26:10] Thank you for showing up and listening to these podcasts. Dr. Rob and Tami are here to help serve you!
