About this audiobook
The phrase "broken heart" belies the real trauma behind the all-too-common occurrence of infidelity. Psychologist Dennis Ortman likens the psychological aftermath of sexual betrayal to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in its origin and symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, rage, emotional numbing, and flashbacks. Using PTSD treatment as a model, Dr. Ortman will show you, step by step, how to:
#9679 Work through conflicting emotions
#9679 Understand yourself and your partner
#9679 Make important life decisions
Dr. Ortman sees recovery as a spiritual journey and draws on the wisdom of diverse faiths, from Christianity to Buddhism. He also offers exercises to deepen recovery, such as guided meditations and journaling, and explores heart-wrenchingly familiar case studies of couples struggling with monogamy. By the end of this book, you will have completed the six stages of healing and emerged with a whole heart, a full spirit, and the freedom to love again.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Transcending Post- Infidelity Stress DisorderThe Six Stages of Healingby Dennis Ortman, PhD I was so excited about reviewing this 242 page book I gave it a big kiss. The author, with a lot of heart and humor gets right in there through personal stories, valuable and compassionate information and suggestions for recovery from having your heart stomped on to bring us a package that delivers in a major way. I wish this great find had been there for me long ago cause it probably would have saved me years of repeat performances. But the cool thing is it's never to late. Even though it has been years since my pain filled escapades the tried and true formulas will work on old wounds too. I was able to get amazing help and healing with my unresolved emotions and other neat stuff and it got me to feeling healthier in places I never even knew had been harmed. I would recommend this major player to anyone who has ever had to deal with unfaithfulness and I must say it makes a very thoughtful gift for someone going through a hard time. Thanks Dennis, for this blessed touch of Heaven. It will help millions. Love & Light, Riki Frahmann
