#131: How Do I Stay Out Of Shame When My Partner Needs Me To Just Listen?

Caller Dave's Question: "I attempted to have an affair and was caught. My spouse and I have been working through my addiction recovery and her betrayal trauma recovery. At times she is triggered and talks to me about it to keep communication open and transparent. How do I keep from shaming myself for what I have done to her when she needs me to just listen."   Tyler Patrick, "The Wandering Therapist", is co-founder of Love Strong (lovestrong.com), a Christian-based Recovery + WHOLEHEARTED living therapy practice.
