Beyond broken vows, a woman who discovers that the man she loves has been viewing pornography or having an affair must deal with devastating blows to her self-image and self-worth. She must grapple with the fact that the man she thought she knew has lied and deceived her.

Those who experience betrayal often find that wounding occurs even with people they turn to for help: their counselors or their faith leaders. I highly encourage help providers to read this book to better

Anne: Your new book just came out. I am in the process of reading it. I’m loving it so far. What did you mean by the title, Intimate Deception? Sheri:Intimate deception is when we are not a consenting partner to some act that the person we are in love with, could be our husband or it could be our boyfriend, there is a non-consensual sexual act that...
When I looked at what it meant to betray, there’s two ideas that came to mind. The first one was the word rema. Which means “to betray,” and it—listen to this, Anne. It means what comes from a person of chaos. The other word is close, it’s to deceive. Which is the word badad. It means “to hide. To cover, to offend, to deal unfaithfully with. Or to ...
When you look at lying and how it harms us, the phrase “addicts lie. They lie a lot.” We throw that phrase around. But you know what? For every addict that lies, and every act of deception, it hurts a woman on the other side. Lying causes harm. When I think about it as abuse, if somebody wants to sexually act out, I often, when I’m working with men...

I feel bad that my son found it on my c...

There’s a spectrum. I have w...
Now, I have educated some of the guys I’ve worked with on gaslighting. Because I said, “Wait a second. You just made her out to be crazy. You told her she was crazy.” I said, “Do you know that’s psychological abuse?” They look at me like, “What?” That is psychological abuse. When you make it about your wife, and you make her wrong and bad while you...
Now, there are other men that they are doing it systematically because they’re really trying to keep their affair hidden. They are trying to keep their sexual acting out hidden, and they want to keep you there. They want to keep their world intact, their reputation intact, their kids out of the know. And they want to just have everything be the sam...
Anne:That’s what we’re seeing at Betrayal Trauma Recovery a lot. When you confront the lie, there’s no remorse. There’s no restitution. There’s no acknowledgement. It’s just continual gaslighting. I’m not saying every woman who listens to this podcast has that experience, but, generally speaking, those are the types of clients that we get, because ...

In my book, I also have a section that is the eight steps to ...
