When betrayal enters a family, children often carry invisible pain. This week Luke joins Amie and Alana on their podcast (Choose To Be) to talk about his personal experience with how to repair after betrayal.

Listen in as he shares what his experience was like trying to reconnect with his children and rebuild trust.

Listen to learn:

  • Why kids react strongly (and sometimes unexpectedly)

  • How betrayal trauma affects attachment and trust

  • What parents can do to rebuild safety and connection

  • The difference between supporting vs. overwhelming your child
