Access Betrayal Trauma Healing Resources here
To whom much is given, much is expected. (Luke 12:48)
This scripture has always spoken deeply to me, guiding the spirit behind me sharing, Helping Woman Heal: The Secret Basement. In my journey through various ministries for over 15 years, I’ve often been blessed with invaluable resources. And with these blessings, I believe, comes a responsibility to share them, so they may touch and transform other lives.
Fr. Dennis
In addition, a conversation with Fr. Dennis after mass brought the gravity of this cultural issue to my attention. He, a guest priest from South America and traveling the globe, shared during a weekday homily that pornography had emerged as the most frequently confessed sin within the Catholic Church. This revelation, startling as it may be, was witnessed by only a handful present that day. But the enormity of his message was clear: this is a global epidemic, silently entrapping countless souls.
Dr. Omar Minwalla
In recent years, I stumbled upon the following detailed PDF addressing this concern. It’s titled: The Secret Sexual Basement: The Traumatic Impacts of Deceptive Sexuality on the Intimate Partner and Relationship by Dr. Omar Minwalla. And while the document might be extensive, you may find it easier to gain clarity by listening to the three accompanying podcast interviews below, which offer significant insight.
Helping Couples Heal
The trio of podcast interviews by “Helping Couples Heal” (Marnie and Duane), featuring Dr. Omar Minwalla, are well done. In his groundbreaking white paper, “The Secret Sexual Basement”, he bravely uncovers a type of domestic abuse termed deceptive sexuality. More than just spotlighting the challenges of sexual addiction, he dives into the profound emotional and psychological trauma caused by leading a secret sexual life. He describes this as an “integrity abuse disorder”. It’s a must-listen, offering profound insights into an issue that’s been veiled in shadows for too long.
At the end end of this post, you’ll find testimonials from “Helping Couples Heal” that I hope will be a beacon of hope, validation, and healing for many.
