(*Trigger Warning for the Final Section*)
This heartfelt and candid video delves into a sensitive topic that some women struggle with: “Why do some husbands choose recovery while others do not. Is that about the wife… is that about me?”
Prompted by a deeply vulnerable question from my client, MB, I explore various factors that might influence a man’s decision to commit to recovery—coping mechanisms, risk and vulnerability, as well as the impact of past trauma—in an effort to help you put a few nagging, painful questions to rest.
(But please note there is a ***Trigger Warning for the concluding segment*** which discusses sensitive topics like appearance.) Join me as we navigate these complex emotions and questions together.
