What are the signs? What are the things to be looking for? How do I know they are cheating or if I am just spinning in my head? All these questions are addressed in this episode.
There is never any magic pill to recovery but there is a way to make small improvements even when things suck. Being curious can make all the difference when things are tough as it can help you get out of your own way and consider where your partner is.
Feeling unique is a common thing. One can go to a single 12 step meeting and walk away thinking their story is better or worse than others and feel a sense of hopelessness or a sense of pride and denial. Listen as Brannon, Coby and Ashlynn share their experience with this curious frame of mind and perspective.
Abuse is a devastating thing in all its forms and has no place in a relationship no matter who you are. Is it possible though to be in a relationship and not realize it is abusive? How do I know if my partner and I abusive to each other without knowing it? Brannon walks Coby and Ashlynn through this difficult topic.
There are always unanswered questions about an affair that can spin endlessly in the mind of the one betrayed. What are some considerations in pursuing the idea? What would you say? Listen as Ashlynn shares her thoughts on what she did when she reached out to Coby's second affair partner.
Each month we host a Q&A where we answer questions from people who are patrons on our premium site. This episode is a small piece of that. We also post weekly videos on our Patreon site to share insights we all have from our mentoring and therapy we do. It is a great resource that can add tremendous value to your recovery and can give you access to us in a different way than a podcast episode.
When the addicted has betrayed so many times, lied over and over how can the one who was hurt NOT watch every move with an all seeing eye? That is the first instinct much of the time but why is it not helpful? What does it do to the relationship? Listen as Brannon walks through this key crossroad of recovery with Coby and Ashlynn.

When words are cheap how can an addict expect the betrayed to embrace a kind and sweet word? How can something be true when there is nothing by way of action to support such a statement? Listen as Coby gives insights to this exact action when he was acting out in addiction and how Ashlynn felt and responded when she heard such things. Brannon sheds light on this dynamic that is riddled with complexity.
Betrayal trauma is a real thing. It affects so many and is devastating. But what if the experts treating this have it wrong and cannot get their patients through this trauma? What if they don't know how to move them forward in a systematic way so their patients are not stuck?
