Betrayal shatters more than just trust—it often demolishes our sense of self-worth and leaves us trapped in destructive thought patterns. In this powerful episode, I dive deep into how the thoughts we believe after betrayal can either keep us stuck or propel us forward on our healing journey.

Have you found yourself thinking "I'm not enough" or "What's wrong with me?" after discovering an affair? These thoughts aren't facts—they're interpretations that keep you locked in pain. I share practical strategies for examining these beliefs and transforming them into more empowering perspectives. Rather than asking "How could they do this to me?"—a question that keeps you feeling powerless—learn to redirect your focus toward questions that restore your agency and help you move forward.

For parents navigating betrayal, I address common concerns about children: Will this ruin their childhood? What if they blame me? Will they take sides? While we can't shield our children from all pain, I offer guidance on supporting them while not sacrificing your own healing. Similarly, I tackle the social fallout many fear—judgment from family, friends, church communities—and provide tools to face these challenges with dignity and self-compassion.

The most transformative practice I teach is identifying your five most persistent negative thoughts, examining them with curiosity, and deliberately choosing more empowering alternatives. This isn't about toxic positivity—it's about refusing to let someone else's betrayal define your worth or your future.
