Author: Living Truth Inc July 13, 2026 Duration: 47:15
Whether you're a betrayed partner trying to make sense of the chaos inside you, or a man who can't seem to stop behavior he hates — this episode is for you.   Kristin sits down with Jenna Riemersma, LPC - certified IFS therapist, CSAT supervisor, and bestselling author of Altogether You and her newest book Move Toward — to explore what happens when we stop fighting the parts of ourselves we don't like and start moving toward them instead.   Jenna unpacks: Why IFS (Internal Family Systems) is deeply rooted in scripture — and why the image of God inside you is the key to transformation without shame What it actually means to have "parts" — and why feeling torn, contradictory, or out of control doesn't mean something is wrong with you The three-step tool (Notice, Know, Need) you can use in your most triggered moments — no therapist required Why compassion unlocks what control never could, for both the betrayed partner and the person with unwanted sexual behavior How to speak for your parts instead of from them — and why that changes everything in conflict and in healing   This is not a shortcut. It's a different road entirely. Move Toward is available now wherever books are sold. Free resources, guided videos, and downloadable worksheets are available at movetoward.com.   Learn more about our programs:   The Living Truth Podcast: Conversations that shed light on the deeper issues that unlock healing from porn addiction, sex addiction, and sexual betrayal. #LivingTruthPodcast #ChristianRecovery #FaithAndHealing #AddictionRecovery #MenInTheBattle #WomenInTheBattle #LivingTruth #IFS
