Sexual betrayal causes ongoing complex trauma. How can we effectively walk alongside betrayed partners? Donna Dixon has developed trauma informed training and certification for peer led partner betrayal groups (she trains all of our Women in the Battle leaders!) In this episode, Donna and Kristin reflect on the incredible healing power of simply bearing witness to another’s pain... to just be with them in it. Donna's tender heart and wise insight sheds light on the effects of betrayal trauma on partners. She challenges us to grow in our view of suffering as a normal part of the human experience in a broken and fallen world and compassionately normalizes the crisis of faith that so many traumatized people experience. This episode can offer profound hope for the broken…that their faith in the goodness and power of God can actually be deconstructed and reconstructed. The result of this rebuilding can be an utter masterpiece! So many partners emerge from their betrayal trauma recovery work with hearts of greater compassion, removal of judgement, and tender authenticity that reflect Jesus like never before!
