2. My Story: Choosing To Heal From Betrayal Trauma

In today’s episode, I dive into a deeply personal and
transformative story that has had an immense impact on the person
I am today. This experience also served as a profound lesson on
grief, pain, and the unavoidable role they play.

This raw, vulnerable episode describes the impact that
infidelity, addiction and pornography had on all areas of my
life.

It's important for me to clarify that this episode is not about
bashing my former husband or expressing anger towards him. It is
about sharing my personal story of healing with utmost respect
for both of us. 

This story focuses on the profound healing process that followed.
It explores the aftermath of betrayal, the trauma endured, and
the significant impact it had on my identity and sense of
self-worth. This is a story of my healing, my journey towards
reclaiming my strength, overcoming resentment, and my path to
finding joy and peace.

In this episode we cover:


How betrayal can have serious consequences and losses beyond
emotional pain

Specific descriptions and examples of betrayal trauma
symptoms

What the 10 ‘Domains of Impact’ are and how the impact of
betrayal transforms over time

Personal “before and after” examples

in the face of overwhelming pain and trauma

How moving past bitterness and resentment is one of the most
difficult parts of healing

The hope and possibility that exists for your future if you
choose to heal 

The personal growth and reflections I had through this life
experience



Join me as I navigate the complexities of healing from betrayal,
unravel the layers of trauma, and discover the profound
transformation that emerges from the process. This episode is an
intimate exploration of my own growth, resilience, and the
pursuit of inner healing.
