We are excited to welcome Duane Osterlind, LMFT, CSAT-S to the S.A. Lifeline Conference coming up this Friday and Saturday.

Duane is a leading expert in s*x addiction and betrayal trauma treatment and the host of the popular podcasts The Addicted Mind and Shame to Resilience. With extensive clinical experience and a compassionate approach, Duane helps individuals and couples shed shame, rebuild trust, and thrive in recovery.

In his presentation, From Shame to Resilience: A Journey to Relational Healing, Duane will explore how shame blocks intimacy and connection—and how understanding the “Shame Compass” can help individuals interrupt shame spirals, build resilience, and show up authentically in their relationships.

Join us November 7–8 to learn from Duane and other amazing presenters at the S.A. Lifeline Conference.

It can be insightful to compare addiction to a tree:

A (negative emotion) is the roots
B (lust) is the trunk
C (acting out) is the branches

→ B and C grow out of the roots

Branches (like our acting-out behaviors) tend to be obvious to us and others. But roots (like emotions we may be unaware of) remain hidden below the surface. In order to live in recovery, we must first become aware of the roots (our emotions) as they are the catalyst that sets our addiction cycle into motion.

Effective boundaries help us compassionately create a separation from others’ hurtful behaviors, and bring the focus back to our own needs and our desire for peace.

This purposeful detachment is often needed to put God back at our center, and progress in our own recovery.

Healthy boundaries empower us by providing a clear plan of action in moments of distress. This action plan is summed up in a simple “If/ Then” statement:

“If ____ happens, then I must do _____”

That is our plan of action. That is our boundary.

“These are the first three Steps, and how I practice the surrender process. I have learned that every time God is not at my center and I feel, lust, resentment, sadness, frustration, anger, and not good enough, then that is when I need to surrender.

I have witnessed multiple miracles in my life as I surrender and choose to give my unmanageability to my Higher Power. It has worked every single time. I continue to see that God blesses my life immensely as I practice the surrender process.”

So much of recovery is about surrender, not just to what’s happened, but to how long healing takes.

As Kaylene T. shares in this episode, one of the hardest parts of her journey was releasing her need to speed up or control time. She wanted healing to come quickly, for trust to be rebuilt now. But real recovery doesn’t move on our timeline, it unfolds in God’s time.

When we let go of the need to rush or force the process, we open the door to peace, presence, and genuine growth.

The seventh piece of the SAL Recovery Puzzle is time. Learning to live in recovery from s*xual addiction and betrayal trauma takes time.

Just like healing from an injury or surgery, there’s no way around it. It takes time to heal physically as well as emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And it takes time to heal damaged relationships and rebuild trust.

The work of recovery can sometimes be an exhausting and painful uphill climb, as such healing does not happen overnight. We are well served when we choose to be patient and trust the process.

Accepting a more patient cadence is a sign that we see the work of recovery more as the marathon that it is—not a sprint.

We don’t have to figure everything out at once. Recovery (and life for that matter) is a process.

Welcome to humanity, where progress is enough and perfection is thankfully unrealistic. ❤️

Expectations of perfection cause feelings of shame when we inevitably fail to meet the standard of flawlessness.

Good news: you don’t have to be perfect.

Progress over perfection.

Come heal with us from the effects of unwanted s*xual behavior or betrayal trauma.
