Episode 70: Why Self-Esteem Plummets After Discovery


Welcome to Hope for Wives

With your co-hostesses:

Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com

Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com

Listen now:

Today, we are discussing why and how a betrayed partner’s self-esteem decreases after discovery. Self-esteem is your sense of overall personal worth or value. Similar to self-respect, it describes your level of confidence in your abilities and attributes.  One of the criteria for post traumatic stress in the DSM-5 is “Persistent and exaggerated negative beliefs or expectations about oneself, others, or the world.” So, it makes sense that a large percentage of betrayed wives experience this drastic drop in their confidence.

We Will be Discussing:

  1. What are some experiences betrayed partners have with loss of self-esteem?
  2. How does this lack of self-esteem affect recovery from betrayal trauma?
  3. What hope can we leave?
