What happens to the brain and body of a wife who discovers her husband's relationship with porn? This is part 1 of our 2-part series on the trauma of sexual infidelity taught by Dr. Barbara Steffens and Lyschel Burket. You'll learn why wives react the way they do, how to tell the difference between wives expressing anger vs. engaging in abusive behavior, how to set appropriate boundaries while practicing empathy, and what wives really want from their husbands in the healing process (VOWS). This teaching is absolutely brilliant. Take notes!
