If you are the betrayed partner, it makes sense that you likely want more conversation, not less.

You want answers. Clarity. Openness. You want your partner to sit with you in the pain instead of avoiding it.

If you are the one who broke the trust, you're probably showing up to these conversations because you know you owe it to your betrayed partner....Even if you dread it.

So you are talking, you are having the conversations, and, yet… nothing feels different.

In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody challenge the belief that talking about it automatically means you are working through it.

Sometimes all the talking is actually keeping you stuck.
