Stage Two
Disclosure
Do a formal disclosure - this is a mutual, planned, facilitated meeting w/ trusted counselor(s). This is the equivalent of sterilizing a wound. Painful. Necessary.
What IS included in a healthy disclosure:
1. What types of porn viewed + time frames (approx) and frequency
2. An estimate of the number of hours spent viewing over his lifetime (yes, lifetime)
3. Other types of sexual "acting out"
4. Number of sexual partners he has acted out with in real life (with names, if known to you).
5. Date of last contact with the above
6. Estimate of amount of money spent and where it came from
7. Any possible health ramifications
8. Incidents that may have impacted your children
What is NOT included in a healthy disclosure:
Graphic details
Names of partners not known to you
Locations of acting out, other than your home
Thoughts or feelings about acting-out partners
Fantasies or thought life
After Disclosure: Your “Recovery Action Plan”
When we experience chronic emotional stress, our bodies go into overdrive, depleting essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium. These minerals play a vital role in regulating mood, sleep, and muscle function. Replenishing depleted minerals through diet or supplements can help restore balance. It’s a gentle, loving way to care for yourself as you work through the deeper layers of healing.
