3 Things Christians Do That Shut Down Healing After Betrayal, #593

If you're trying to heal after betrayal, you may be doing everything you were taught to do—and still feel stuck.

Author and counselor Tammy Gustafson joins Juli to share four necessary phases of healing, and three common mistakes that actually shut it down. With clinical insight and biblical wisdom, this conversation will help you move forward with strength and hope.
