From Crisis to Connection - with Geoff & Jody Steurer

What Really Determines Whether Healing Moves Forward


Listen Later

After betrayal, even small mistakes can feel enormous. A forgotten detail, a defensive tone, or a moment of old behavior can land like a major setback. In this episode, Geoff and Jody talk about why these moments feel so threatening and what actually determines whether healing moves forward or shuts down.

What We Cover:
For the Betrayed Partner
  • Why even small slips feel like confirmation nothing has changed
  • How fear and past harm amplify the moment
  • What she’s really looking for
  • For the Recovering Partner
    • What creates defensiveness or hiding
    • Why the response matters more than the mistake
    • The choice points that build or break trust
    • For the Couple
      • How repeated patterns shape safety
      • What actually reveals more than behavior
      • What real progress looks like in moments of rupture
