Forgiveness and Grief in Betrayal Trauma Healing

In this episode, I welcome back Cat Etherington, the director of recovery at the Naked Truth Project. We explore the profound impact of betrayal trauma on wives and the journey towards healing and forgiveness. Cat explains the stages of healing: 

• Safety and stabilization, 
• Remembering and mourning, 
• Reconnection 

 

She emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, not as a pressured obligation but as a personal outcome of healing. We also discuss how friends and family can provide tangible support during this difficult time.
