It is about any sexual dysfunction between people in a long-term relationship: sexual withholding, emotional detachment, bullying or demeaning behavior, etc. These relationship problems form subconscious impressions on children and lead to unfulfilling relationships in later life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, for the first time, identifies 'sexual addiction' as a root cause of many of the dysfunctions in relationships. It helps readers analyze their parents' relationships. It then shows them the possible dysfunctions these problems caused in their own relationships, giving both general guidance and personal anecdotes from a select group of children of sex addicts. Finally, it gives readers several specific exercises to help free them from their past, heal their relationship with your parents (especially the 'victim partner'—often the wife—who is subconsciously blamed for not stopping the spouse's disruptive behavior), and repair any damage in their current relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is not just about cheating or abuse. It is about finding the way back to the loving relationships you want…and that those around you deserve. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Health Communications, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028793802992,"sku":"9780757303258","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780757303258_p0.jpg?v=1763640849","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780757303258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
