A person gets caught in an affair. They see the devastation it wreaks on their spouse—the betrayed partner—and, wracked with guilt, they make a solemn vow. They promise themselves, often in a moment of raw honesty, “Never again.” It feels earnest, weighty, even unbreakable. But is a vow enough to prevent them from straying again?

Every couple I’ve encountered as a relationship therapist has been dealing with this specific issue, but they didn’t have a concept for it to describe or explain it.  This episode will help you do that.

Before we jump into our episode I wanted to take a moment to speak to those of you who are looking for resources.

Some of you are in therapy or coaching and you’re finding:

• Your therapist is nice but the issue of betrayal or trauma isn’t being addressed. 
• You run out of time in your sessions
• A lot happens in between sessions which can feel like progress is stunted. 
• It takes way too long to get somewhere in therapy or coaching.

In fact, if the average couple needs around 15-30 sessions that works out to about 4-8 months if nothing big happens in between sessions.  And then there are the individual needs that will often require more time.

That’s why we host monthly workshops.  You can join us in person here in Tulsa, OK, or online via zoom from anywhere in the world, and you’ll even have access to a pre-recorded version as well as the master classes and small group meetings.

This workshop provides you with actionable steps you can take immediately to see huge changes in your relationship AND in how you feel.

It’s the jump start you need.  We take what would be months of therapy or coaching, pull out the most useful and important parts, and deliver it to you in 2.5 days.

It is truly transformative.

But don’t take my word for it, at the end of this episode you will have the opportunity to hear from a couple who came to one of the workshops.  You can also see some here>>>

These workshops allow you to get what you need without the frustration of lost time and resources.

They are private and no one has to share anything with the group to see results if you don’t want to.  Although we find that many couples love that they can make new and supportive friends if they want to.

This episode is like a mini-letter to the unfaithful spouse.  Our goal is to help you articulate many of the things you might be feeling but can't seem to put your finger on.

Also, you may have heard about our workshops and master class programs…

You may be listening to this wondering why would we join the Healing Broken Trust workshop and program?

“We’re already in counseling, or something else, and I mean Brad and Morgan cover everything they have to say in the podcast anyways, right?”

Well not quite.

First of all, if you’re in counseling right now you still need the workshop.

Individual counseling doesn’t solve marriage issues.  And I bet your marriage counselor is working on the marriage and missing all the glaring affair recovery issues you haven’t yet dealt with.

In addition to that…we deal with so much more in the program that we’ve never covered on the podcast.

Such as:

• When sharing emotions is not enough,
• When being the healer doesn’t solve the trust issues,
• Or when your spouse isn’t helping you heal at all,
• When cutting off the affair partner isn’t simple or straightforward in your situation,
• When you’ve decided to re-engage and work on the relationship but the underlying causes for the affair aren’t dealt with,
• When you think you know why the affair happened and then you are given new information,
• When you have blind spots and can’t see what you’re missing,
• When you’re not used to sadness so you do everything not to experience it, but in the process, you loose all access to intimacy.
• You’re super positive, sure of the solution, thinking everything is explainable, but do you really understand why your spouse decided to look outside the relationship for some need to be met?  What need were they trying to meet?

These are just some of what we help couples deal with in our workshop and program.

So go to healingbrokentrust.com now and join us for the next workshop before it fills up.
