It’s no mystery that integrity is one of the most important pieces in both sex addiction recovery and healing your marriage after infidelity.

But what is integrity, and how do you repair the damage caused after cheating?

In this episode, I’m joined by one of my favorite experts in the field of sex addiction and betrayal trauma. Dr. Crystal Hollenbeck is an author and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.

Crystal and I talk about integrity and the effects of violating it will have on a marriage.
