Have you been asking yourself whether you will ever be able to trust your husband again after the betrayal and wondering where you even begin to answer that question?
Have you been watching his every move, waiting for him to prove himself, tracking whether he follows through and secretly wondering why that approach is not bringing you the peace or the clarity you were hoping for?
Do you find yourself unsure whether rebuilding trust even starts with him or whether there is something that has to happen inside you first before any of that is possible?
Can you ever trust again after betrayal or infidelity? It is one of the most asked and most feared questions in the entire healing journey after betrayal. And today I am sitting down with someone whose answer is going to reframe the whole conversation.
In this episode I am joined by my brother, a licensed marriage and family therapist and someone who has walked alongside me personally through some of the hardest seasons of my own healing journey. Together we are having an honest and practical conversation about where rebuilding trust actually has to begin. And it might not be where you expect.
We cover what rebuilding trust actually means and what most women get wrong about it from the very start. We talk about the strong connection between trusting God trusting yourself and trusting others and why you cannot fully separate them. And we begin to explore what rebuilding trust actually looks like in the day to day reality of a marriage touched by betrayal.
This is Part 1 of a two part conversation. Part 2 drops next Thursday.
