Formal Therapeutic Disclosures (FTD)
If you’re contemplating or working through a disclosure from s*xual integrity issues, take a listen to my podcast on Apple, I am going through the series of what it takes to get through a formal therapeutic disclosure on Apple podcast, Broken Together.
You can also check out my website for more information, newreflectionsclinical.com

You may have gotten caught/exposed not of your own will, as in most cases. In those moments, our brains get all “mushy” and we’re in fight, flight, or freeze. In other words, the truth may not all be disclosed. In that painful moment for both of you, you certainly don’t want a repeat, and in any way hurt your partner any more than she is already hurting.

However, a formal therapeutic disclosure (FTD) is necessary for the couple ship to move forward. You disclose for many reasons, including health risk, which can be life or death. It is challenging for most to get over that a spouse may not have used protection at their expense, putting them at risk of a fatal disease, such as HIV, hepatitis C, which is transmitted s*xually or via dirty needles, human papilloma virus HPV, as well as many other s*xually transmitted diseases. This can be a deal breaker in a marriage.

Behaviors that are illegal or put the partner’s health or the finances of a household at risk make the timeliness of a disclosure even more important. Matters are complicated even further by the age of your children, the state of your finances and health, years invested in the marriage, and in some cases, children born out of your infidelities.

If you have not had a formal therapeutic disclosure and are holding secrets that have not been disclosed, I encourage you to seek help from a trained and certified s*x addiction therapist who specializes in this matter. A therapist who is trained in s*xual integrity issues knows and understands how to help you and your partner get through this difficult time. Do not postpone the inevitable; you deserve the freedom that a therapeutic disclosure has to offer for each of you and the couple ship.

An Invitation to Hope and Healing: Allow me to come alongside and help you navigate the unwanted behaviors to a change of heart.

Becoming is a process, “it takes time, that’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.” Margery Williams.

Becoming

Your journey to healing begins here. For partners who feel lost, alone, confused, and traumatized after betrayal, Becoming: A Guide to Recovery from S*xual Addiction While Helping Your Partner Trust Again offers a path to healing and understanding.

This book was written for men who are struggling or in the process of recovering from s*xual integrity issues. If you are reading this and you are a partner, I want you to know this book was written with you in mind. There is hope for your relationship and I encourage you to read it as well. It provides an outline of what a healthy recovery looks like and what you can expect from your spouse. The last thing you want is to be blindsided.

You will read about the “Bravehearts,” the couples that made it through the storms of the trauma inflicted by this addiction. Their struggles to get to a place of redemption and forgiveness was not easy by any means. Not all are able to get to this place. The work they each did to heal and recover was arduous. Even months and years later, some continue to work at fostering safety and trust for themselves and each other.

Going deeper into recovery is life and heart changing for the man who wants transformation and wants to help his partner heal. There is hope. Order your copy today.

Today is a new day. You cannot undo what was done yesterday. Today is your golden opportunity to build on trust. Focus your attention to pay attention to promises you have made and commitments. In other words, keep your word.

Becoming is a book that takes you through the stories of many men and women who long for healing and for trust to be restored. In many cases, it is—and unfortunately, in many more, it doesn’t happen. If you are blessed to have a partner willing to stay, then embrace that gift and be willing to do the work.

You are not perfect, not God, and not a miracle worker. You will stumble and fall. Pick yourself back up. Make amends. A sincere apology—like the one in the book. And know that you cannot do this alone.

This is your new day. You are not defined by what you have done. You are in the development stages of making today become the new norm, and with this, you assign your commitment to becoming a man of his word to Jesus, others, and yourself (JOY). Integrity and grace go a long way.

Your partner will see and know your efforts. She wants, more than anything, for you to be the man she knows and believes in. I, too, am a partner, and I know this from my heart. I once told my husband, “That’s not you anymore. You’re better than that,” after he made a choice to retaliate against something that upset him in our neighborhood. It was upsetting to know that he would not consider the options. But his response is where grace was enlarged for me: “You’re right. That’s not me anymore. I’m going to make it right.”

My hope and trust in his ability to care about what’s important to me—and care enough to put aside pride and evil—make a huge impact. If you’re maintaining the work required to be safe, sober, healthy, and honest in your recovery, you too will join the ranks of the Braveheart Couples.

It’s all in due time. Don’t give up!!!! You have come too far.

Remember the lyrics of the song “Scars” by I Am They:

“Waking up to a new sunrise, looking back from the other side,
I can see now with open eyes.
Darkest water and deepest pain.
I wouldn’t trade it for anything,
‘Cause my brokenness brought me to you,
And these wounds are a story you’ll use.
So, I’m thankful for the scars.”

Only this kind of trust can rebuild and restore a relationship. Your wounds and scars—and those you’ve inflicted—cause brokenness and are part of the story God will use to create beauty from ashes.

In Him, because of Him,
Françoise
