What if My Spouse is a Sex Addict But Won't Seek Treatment? (A Therapist's 4-Step Plan)

What do you do when your spouse refuses to get help for their compulsive acting out? In this episode, we unpack the painful and disorienting moment when you’ve discovered harmful patterns, but your partner denies, minimizes, or gaslights you. Caleb explains why denial is a core symptom of compulsive behavior, not a reflection of your worth, and why you are not powerless even when it feels like you have no options. We explore the essential steps betrayed partners must take to protect their well-being: educating yourself about compulsive patterns, understanding betrayal trauma, seeking your own specialized support, and setting boundaries that safeguard your emotional and physical safety. Caleb also explains why traditional marriage counseling can be harmful during this stage and why both partners need parallel healing paths instead of moving into joint sessions too early. You’ll also learn when therapeutic separation may be appropriate and how structured interventions like the ARISE model help families break through denial with clarity and compassion rather than shame. This episode serves as a steady roadmap for partners who feel trapped, confused, or alone — reminding you that you have choices, support, and the ability to reclaim your power and safety. ==   Struggling with relationships, trauma, or addictions?   You don’t have to do it alone.
