Healing deepens when the Steps are worked with the partner in mind.

Meet our speaker: Tim Stein.

Working the 12-Steps is deeply personal, yet recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. For couples, the partner’s experience is often left out of the conversation, even though it shapes the recovery of both people. When the Steps are worked with partner sensitivity, they become more than personal tasks. They become a way of showing care.

In his session, “From My Steps to Our Healing: A Partner-Sensitive Way Through the 12-Steps,” Tim will follow the addict as he works his own program and show where partner sensitivity belongs in that work. He’ll explore how the Steps, worked well, express that sensitivity, and how tending to the partner’s experience deepens honesty, accountability, and amends over time. He’ll also look at how Higher Power and spirituality can become shared ground for a couple, and how partners can be invited to lean into appreciation and sensitivity for the addict’s work and challenges in return. Attendees will leave with current research and practical takeaways that couples and providers can use right away.

Tim is a co-founder of Willow Tree: Center for Healing & Recovery, an outpatient treatment center in Santa Rosa, CA, where he supports individuals, couples, and families navigating s*x addiction and betrayal trauma. He also guides therapists on their own recovery journeys. Tim serves as President of the Board for The American Foundation for Addiction Research (AFAR), co-hosts the podcast “Conversations on S*x, Addiction, & Relationships,” and is the author of “Gifts of Recovery” and co-author of “Finding the Way Through.”

“If you knew how great recovery is, you would put on your track shoes to get there.” 👟

The most important things in life happen gradually, and your triumph is no less glorious if it takes time. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep going. Freedom is precious enough that all your work is worth it.

Healing happens when trust is rebuilt on the whole truth.

Meet our speaker: Debra L. Kaplan, MA, MBA, LPC, CSAT-S.

Hidden accounts, undisclosed gambling, and financial deception can surface alongside s*xual infidelity, yet the focus is often on the s*xual betrayal alone. When the financial side goes unaddressed, the chances of lasting recovery go down. Rebuilding trust means looking at the whole picture.

In her session, “Healing Financial and S*xual Betrayal: Earn Trust and Create Emotional & Financial Intimacy,” Debra will explore how financial and s*xual compulsive behaviors share the same neurological reward systems and the same path to healing. She’ll walk attendees through the key identifiers of financial infidelity, the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms that drive co-occurring compulsive behaviors, and the elements of a financial disclosure. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for healing.

Debra is an author, speaker, and licensed therapist specializing in s*xual addiction and compulsivity, money, work, and relationships. After a distinguished career on Wall Street, she brought her financial expertise into clinical practice. She is the author of “For Love and Money” and “Battle of the Titans,” and lead author of “Coupleship Inc: From Financial Conflict to Financial Intimacy.” A Certified S*x Addiction Therapist-Supervisor and faculty member of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals, she leads workshops and intensive programs on s*x and finance.

You wouldn’t tell someone in a burn unit to get up and get back to real life.

Recently on the Pathway to Recovery podcast, Jed Anderson explained that Betrayal trauma can be like a third degree burn: deep, layered, and slow to heal. If you’re a betrayed partner, you are not behind. You don’t have to hurry up and forgive. Healing takes time, the right help, and people who understand how deep the wound goes.

Willpower can feel like it’s working right up until the water keeps coming in.

We can row harder. We can bail faster. We can tell ourselves that if we’re just strong enough, disciplined enough, or determined enough, we can keep the boat afloat.

But white-knuckle sobriety puts us at the center. And eventually, willpower runs out.

In this episode of Pathway to Recovery, Marcus shares a powerful picture of two boats: the SS Willpower, already taking on water, and a ship captained by a Higher Power: steady, strong, and secure.

The question isn’t, “Can I row hard enough?”
It’s, “Which boat am I choosing to trust?”

When we place our lives, our hearts, and our recovery in the hands of the God of your understanding, we don’t have to rely on our own strength to keep ourselves afloat.

Children absorb betrayal, even when no one tells them the story.

Meet our speaker: Morgan Ellsworth, LAMFT, BCC, CCPS-A, CPC.

When betrayal enters a family, the impact doesn't stop with the couple. Children feel the shift in the home, and silence and confusion can shape how they see themselves, others, and even God. That's why healing has to include the whole family.

In her session, "Family Systems in the Wake of Betrayal: The Impact on Children and Pathways to Healing," Morgan will walk parents through how parental betrayal ripples through a family and affects children emotionally, cognitively, behaviorally, spiritually, and relationally. Drawing on Kaethe Weingarten's witnessing framework, she'll offer a path from silence toward honest, age-appropriate disclosure and sustained repair, without overwhelming a child's capacity to cope. Attendees will leave with an age-appropriate disclosure language guide they can use right away.

Morgan is a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona and the owner of Ellsworth Family Therapy and Morgan Ellsworth Coaching & Wellness. She specializes in betrayal trauma and helps families heal together, including the children, siblings, and extended family members who are so often overlooked. She is a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist-Associate and Certified Partner Coach through APSATS, facilitates the Witnessed group for teens and adult children, and hosts the Healing Betrayed Families podcast. As a betrayed child herself, Morgan brings both clinical training and lived experience to this work.

Stopping the behavior isn't the same as recovery.

Meet our speaker: Eric Anderson, LMFT, CSAT-S.

Addiction rarely starts all at once. It grows over time as our beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and coping strategies become woven into a cycle that keeps feeding itself. That's why stopping the behavior alone so often isn't enough.

In his session, "Understanding the System of Addiction and How to Reverse It," Eric will walk us through Patrick Carnes' model of the Addictive System. We'll learn how the cycle takes root, why it gets harder to interrupt, and, most importantly, how the same system can be disrupted and reversed. He'll share a practical, step-by-step framework for moving beyond white-knuckling and toward new patterns of thinking, connection, and action that support lasting freedom.

Eric is the founder and Clinical Director of Pathway Therapy Center in Walnut Creek, California, where he helps individuals and couples heal from s*xual addiction and betrayal trauma. He is a Certified S*x Addiction Therapist, co-author of Rebuilding Your Foundation, and author of the forthcoming Disciplines of Recovery.
