Betrayal Trauma Myths Part 2

Choose To Be with Choose Recovery Services; Betrayal Trauma Healing

Join us for part two of our series on debunking trauma recovery myths. In this episode, Amie and Alana tackle MORE common myths that can hinder healing such as "if the addict stops acting out, the betrayed partner will automatically get better," "separation always leads to divorce," and "boundaries shame the acting out partner." They provide insightful explanations for why these beliefs are inaccurate and offer healthier perspectives to support genuine healing and recovery.

Listen to learn:

• Why sobriety doesn’t equal recovery

• Why stopping the behavior doesn’t automatically heal the betrayed partner

• The benefits of separation

• Why early couples counseling isn’t always the best first step
