5 Key Things Couples Who Heal from Betrayal Do Differently - Episode 282

One of the most common questions I hear from couples navigating betrayal recovery is, “Is it even possible for us to heal?” If you’ve ever wondered the same thing, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the five key things I’ve seen every couple do when they successfully heal from betrayal.

I’ll also help you reimagine what healing actually looks like—not just surviving, but creating a relationship that feels safe, connected, and even joyful again.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What healing from betrayal really looks like (it’s probably different than you think)
• Why both partners must commit to radical honesty—not just the one who broke the trust
• The personal growth work both partners need to do for lasting change
• How to integrate the betrayal into your story without being defined by it
• The power of community and why you can’t heal in isolation
• Why professional support is essential—and what kind of help actually works
