YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. Although your story is unique, research has proven that Partners/Spouses of Infidelity, Sex Addiction, or Porn Addiction experience broken trust and you're likely experiencing symptoms of PTSD (intrusive thoughts, avoidance of people/places, mood dysregulation, etc). Combined with the discovery or disclosure of the betrayal, the associated behaviors of gaslighting (lies & blame) will lead to feelings of incongruence within your body and mind which can make you feel like you are going crazy. You are not alone, and you are not crazy! There is hope!! Hope for healing, restoration, empowerment, and non-victim living.
Johan Tredoux
Pastoral Counselor, PhD, BCC
The overarching goal of my Counseling Practice is to be a shepherd who walks with you through your dark places to bring hope and spiritual wholeness. My own spiritual journey has deepened my appreciation and understanding of the importance of love, not just theologically, but in everyday living. It is vital for healing ourselves and our relationships but is often misunderstood or simply not trusted as a result of the emotional injuries we have experienced from others. My grounding as a counselor lies in 28 years of practice as a pastor and professor, working both internationally, the inner city as well as the suburbs of KC, KS.

I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we are learning, unlearning and possibly relearning the existential areas of: who am I, what do I want, and what are my barriers & blind spots? Some may need help identifying or answering these questions cause they can be overwhelming. We often develop limitations in efforts to cope with grief, stress, control, hurt & relationships. So I Wonder: "Do I want to know what gets in my way maybe what is holding me back?", "What I am avoiding?" or "Do I want to have better relationships?" Therapy can support you when you are answering these incredibly rich questions for yourself.

The aim is to re-structure your philosophy so that you can function to your fullest potential. There are so many core messages we hold which no longer serve us. Take this time to focus on and leave behind tension, stress and trauma. Find this a safe place to acknowledge loss and cope with change in your life. Connect with others who survive similar problems in new ways. Take the skills you learn and apply them on a daily basis.
