729: Sexsomnia Guilt-Free After PTSD? | Feedback Friday

Rebuilding Trust

Gabriel Mizrahi shares a heartfelt story of a listener who has struggled with addiction and is now seeking to rebuild trust with his ex-wife and children. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal growth and becoming the best version of oneself rather than solely aiming to win back the ex 1. Jordan Harbinger advises that proving oneself day after day is crucial, but it must be done with patience and respect for the ex-wife's process 2.

Rather than trying to convince your ex to see you as this new person so that she takes you back, I would invest your energy into becoming that new person and allowing her to come to her own decision here.

--- Jordan Harbinger

Jordan also highlights that recovery is a lifelong process and that building a solid foundation is essential for any future reconciliation.

   

Staying Sober

Maintaining sobriety is a continuous journey, and Jordan Harbinger and Gabriel Mizrahi discuss strategies for staying sober. They stress the importance of focusing on personal development and being a present father, friend, and colleague 3. Gabriel points out that the listener's impatience is understandable, but respecting the ex-wife's timeline is crucial 4.

Be a present father. Be a solid friend to your ex. Be a trustworthy colleague. Be those things, not because you want your lady back, but because those things matter.

--- Jordan Harbinger

Jordan and Gabriel agree that building trust takes time and that the listener should continue working on himself, which will naturally lead to positive outcomes in his relationships.
