Christine Samuels, Ph.D. Certified Sexual and Relational Trauma Therapist

When a new client calls, I first always ask, How can I be of help?  For me, that is not an idle question because I know that the individual making that call is in pain, often in shame and self-doubt, and frequently feels undeserving of help.  I want each and every caller to know that help is available, and that both sex addicts and partners of sex addicts, although they are in a crisis of newly revealed pain, deserve respect and encouragement–and hope!  No matter what their history is or what their current circumstances are, the opportunity to recover from both the addiction and the betrayal that the addiction has inflicted is possible and available.  The guide that I am offering is part of that recovery process for you as the partner of a sex addict. –Dr. Samuels is the Founder and Director of The Sexual Addiction Treatment and Training Institute (SATT) (1992)
