Introduction

We've invited Julia Witt to join us for a great discussion on transactional versus transformational relationships. Geoff discovered Julia when someone sent him a Tik Tok video of her discussing this topic. He knew he had to invite her to share more with our community. Transactional relationship dynamics are so common, especially in couples healing from broken trust. So many guys who are trying to rebuild trust want to do the right things, but then inadvertently create a dynamic that creates more resentment. We discuss how to challenge this dynamic and create a more transformational relationship for long-term recovery.

About Geoff Steurer:
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship educator, and coach with over 20 years of experience. I am the co-author of, "Love You, Hate the Porn: Healing a Relationship Damaged by Virtual Infidelity", the host of the weekly podcast, "From Crisis to Connection", and have produced workbooks, audio programs, and online courses helping couples and individuals heal from the impact of sexual betrayal, unwanted pornography use, partner betrayal trauma, and rebuilding broken trust. As a leader in the field, I am a frequent contributor on these subjects at national conferences, documentaries, blogs, magazines, and podcasts. I also write a weekly relationship advice column available on my blog. I founded and ran an outpatient sexual addiction and betrayal trauma recovery group program for over 14 years, co-founded and chaired a local conference to educate community members about harmful media, and founded and administered a specialized group therapy practice for over 10 years. I currently maintain a private counseling and coaching practice in beautiful Southern Utah where I live with my wife and children.

About Julia Witt:
I have worked in the mental health and substance abuse profession for the past 20 years. Providing effective, evidenced based treatment, and working with complicated diagnosis with trauma focused care has been a passion of mine. My focus is on providing a platform of emotional literacy, somatic focused understanding, and learning how to let emotion integrate into our needs for authentic and autonomous living. Making peace with our emotions unlocks a level of flow and effectiveness for transformation. I continue to teach as an adjunct instructor, provide telehealth, and a coaching program focused on emotional regulation skills.
