Healing the Heart Behind the Addiction with Troy Snyder

In this episode, we sit down with Troy Snyder, MS, NCC, LPC, CCSAS, CPCS, a counselor who has been working in the sexual addiction field for over 25 years, to talk about what healing looks like beneath addiction.

So often, the focus in recovery becomes, “How do I stop the behavior?” But Troy invites us to ask a deeper question: What is happening in the heart? What pain is being avoided? What core wounds are still tender? What emotions were never named, processed, or brought into healthy community? And what is pornography falsely promising to fix?

We also talk about the depth of betrayal trauma and why the betrayed spouse’s pain cannot be minimized, rushed, or placed on a timeline. Troy gives language for how the unfaithful spouse can stay humble, own the impact, and begin to understand the grief and devastation betrayal creates.
