          • Is Recovery Work Being Weaponized?

            Betrayal is painful enough, but what if your partner uses their recovery against you? This week we dive into the complicated dynamics of betrayers weaponizing their healing. Join Amie and Alana as they explore the nuances of weaponizing recovery work including what it is, how to spot it, why it happens, and how you can protect yourself. 

            *BIG disclaimer with this topic - weaponizing can go both ways, and this episode is not intended to be used against your partner either. 

            Listen to learn: 

            • Specific examples of what weaponizing recovery work looks like

            • The difference between feeling hurt during your recovery journey and being injured

            • How to tell if your partner is weaponizing recovery versus just being clumsy while learning new skills

            • Steps you can take if you recognize these patterns in your relationship

                “It is time to define betrayal violence.” That is the message that our guest, Hope Ray, wants to offer today. Hope is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and a Certified Hope and Freedom Practitioner. Listen to hear how Hope uses the term “betrayal violence” and how she feels those powerful words give a more thorough definition of the experience of betrayed partners.

                • How Hope defines the word “violence” and applies that term to relational betrayal.

                • What the partner adaptive bonding cycle is and the role it plays in relationships.

                • The importance of intention when thinking about betrayal violence.

                • The difference between betrayal violence and betrayal trauma and how both terms are useful.

                • Why this framework and vocabulary can be so helpful during the process of rehabilitation.
