Question: 

My wife and I are 4 months past D-Day. We are in week 9 of EMS Online. I see a trauma counselor and have begun EMDR for current and childhood trauma. She is 100% committed to the recovery process and in her new relationship with God. My thoughts and triggers are relentless. I’m disgusted. It doesn’t seem to be an addiction but that she just wanted attention and she was very sexual in her past so that’s what she turned to. How do I deal with these graphics thoughts? Why did she want attention this way?
