If you’re married to someone with intimacy anorexia, who’s withholding emotionally, spiritually, and sexually from you, you feel alone and feel disconnected. The pain and even trauma you experience from this are real.

How do you begin to heal? How do you start your journey? Step 1 is a good place to begin. The 12 Steps of the recovery process has helped millions of people over the years, both the addict and their spouse, and it can help you as well. In this video, Dr. Doug Weiss, licensed psychologist and national author, walks you through this first step and its principles, validating your feelings, advising different resources, and giving you the hope to continue on in your life.

It’s important to make sure that you are not alone during this time. Having support from a trusted friend or a group expedites the healing immensely. It’s hard to admit that you are powerless with your significant other and that your life has become unmanageable in that area, but you are still powerful enough to do what you can for yourself, making sure that you are healed and can still live a good life.
