Dr. Crystal Hollenbeck & Kristin discuss anger after sexual betrayal -- what it actually is, why it shows up the way it does, and what both partners can do with it.

 

In this episode we cover:

  • A clear definition of betrayal trauma anger and why it is immediate and ongoing, not a one-time reaction
  • Survey findings on self-blame, anger at God, and the physical toll unprocessed anger takes on the body
  • How Ephesians 4:26 -- 'be angry and do not sin' -- reframes anger as something to process, not eliminate
  • Concrete ways a betrayer can sit with a partner's anger instead of reacting to it
  • The difference between reactive abuse and abuse, and why that distinction matters
  • Why suppressing anger is just as harmful as exploding with it

 

Crystal is a psychotherapist specializing in relationships, sex therapy, and trauma recovery, and the author of Betrayal Trauma Anger: You're Not Crazy, You're Angry, and You Should Be.
