Choosing to Stay

# 112 Rediscovering Self After Betrayal with Isy Williams


Listen Later

In this deeply insightful episode, we welcome our newest coaching colleague at Choose Recovery Services, Isy Williams, for a conversation that touches the heart of every betrayed partner’s healing journey: rediscovering the self after the deep shattering of betrayal.

Together, we explore the often invisible yet powerful knowing that something is off—even before the truth is revealed—and the role that instinct and intuition play when the mind doesn’t have all the facts. Isy shares wisdom on navigating the complex shame many betrayed partners face: the shame of “missing the signs,” the shame of staying, and the internal questioning of what that staying says about them.

We also dive into a powerful truth: that this path of healing is not just about the relationship—it’s about reclaiming your identity. This journey is an invitation to break out of old patterns, rediscover your voice, and reconnect with parts of yourself you may have lost or never fully known.

Whether you’re the one who was betrayed or the one who did the betraying, this episode affirms that true recovery requires courageous self-exploration from both partners. And while the work is difficult, the rewards—deeper intimacy, clarity, and emotional resilience—are life-changing.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • How betrayed partners often “feel” the truth long before they know it

  • The role of intuition and gut instinct in betrayal trauma

  • Deconstructing shame around staying and what it doesn’t say about you

  • Why self-discovery is essential and empowering for both partners

  • How healing creates space for deeper connection and intimacy

  • Insights and encouragement from Isy’s personal and professional experience
