Trust is the foundation of the relationship between romantic partners. When addiction appears, it can wear down trust over time or shatter it all at once.  The hosts discuss how to distinguish between forgiveness and trust, what trust may look like before a partner is in recovery and after recovery, and how long the process takes for husbands to rebuild it depending on where they are at.  

Hosts discuss concepts from Brene Brown in her book "Daring Greatly".

Do you have inner turmoil and conflict around the concept of forgiveness?

In this episode, we talk about our experiences with forgiveness. We talk about why we chose to forgive, the benefits of forgiveness, how it is complicated in addiction, and what forgiveness is not. We know first hand how forgiveness is a delicate topic that creates confusion, pain, and even guilt for partners who’ve been betrayed and traumatized by the addict in their life. 

We can relate, the pain is real. 

So tune in today! 

Therapists Maurice W. Harker, CMHC and Kimberly Day MHCA join Healing with WORTH host Naomi to discuss litmus tests to know the intent of your partner.  They make the very important point that whether or not a partner is intending to harm and abuse, the pain is still real and needs to be addressed.

Amie had been married for 18 years before she came to understand why her marriage was falling apart. Her ex-husband's addictions and abuse had caused enough damage, it was time to heal. During her healing process she wanted to understand more, not only about betrayal trauma but about pornography addiction itself.  This led to a passionate search for knowledge and truth surrounding this plague.  Her search led her to Life Changing Services where she immediately knew she had to be a part of this company and this important work.

Under the direction of Alana Gordon she wrote the WORTH-YSA course for single women and is passionate about helping to educate and empower women in this day where the rules of dating has changed due to the pervasive nature of pornography.  She has seen so much value in learning tools and gaining understanding that allows women to make better choices for themselves and gain a sense of greater individual worth.

She is life coach,  a betrayal trauma coach and a WORTH group mentor for both Life Changing Services and Choose Recovery Services. She is passionate about helping women find hope and healing through their own journey.
