Next May, the Spanish association Dale Una Vuelta, specialized in studying and combating the consequences of pornography, begins an online help program aimed at women who discover their husbands or boyfriends’ addiction to this content.
As María Contreras, general health psychologist and clinical sexologist, and person in charge of the program, explains to ACI Prensa, these women “develop a certain symptomatology” that needs to be addressed.
To do this, therapists treat “above all, the symptoms of anxiety and depression” and deal with what is called “betrayal trauma.” In general, these women “feel a lot of confusion and do not understand why their partners have carried out this behavior. So we help them understand it,” details Contreras.
