Betrayal Trauma occurs when someone we are significantly attached to lets us down and/or betrays our trust in a critical way. Betrayal trauma recovery more commonly addresses the spouses affected by pornography abuse, infidelity, and/or sex addiction.
More studies are being corroborated to show that spouses who experience the daggers of mistrust associated with repeated relapses of pornography use and/or sex addiction are in fact experiencing complex trauma. In order for adequate recovery to occur, it is crucial to get into a program where it is addressed the appropriate way.
In this podcast, we hear the story of a woman who's husband is a pornography addict. Her journey of healing is inspiring as she found the right fit for her in the WORTH program. We also hear from a therapist within that program who informs about the terms and processes within betrayal trauma recovery.
It's so important to give a voice to those who sometimes become invisible in their spouse's recovery. These stories are difficult to share and take so much bravery and courage. Please join me in supporting her and everyone who's experienced this hardship. There is absolutely so much hope for you!
