BCT therapy is based on the premise that the partner who is
abusing substances has a much better chance of long - term recovery if the treatment 1) effectively addresses and
reduces problems that are occurring in the couples relationship, and 2) actively includes the
spouse who consistently supports and rewards abstinence.
Men who undergo counseling for sexual addiction learn why they
abuse sex — including cheating — and with that insight can deal with past traumas and learn to emotionally connect with their
spouse in a healthy way therefore significantly
reducing the likelihood of future infidelity.
