Episode 20: Healing from the Impact of Sexual Betrayal Through Grief
Welcome to Hope for Wives
With your co-hostesses:

Today, we are discussing how grief plays a part in our healing from the impact of sexual betrayal.
As mentioned in previous podcasts, when the main person in your life betrays you, he murders the trust you had in him. Neurologically, your brain does not know the difference between the death of a person and the death of trust. So, the same process that brings about healing from the death of a loved one is the same process that brings about healing after the death of trust. It’s painful, and messy, and often times doesn’t make sense.
We Will be Discussing:
- We each give a short definition of grief.
- What were your personal experience with betrayal and grief?
- What are some ways you’ve seen your clients experience grief or things you’ve learned about grief?
- What practical tools and hope can we leave our friends with, especially for the ones who are fearful of the pain of grief?
