Betrayal doesn’t just break trust — it fractures your connection to yourself, to others, and often to God.

In Part 2 of this conversation, I’m again joined by Jeni Brockbank, author of Healing in Christ’s Light, to explore what it looks like to move beyond survival and into deeper healing after betrayal — without bypassing pain or rushing the process.

This episode centers on soul-care, compassion, and truth-based healing for women navigating the aftermath of abuse, addiction, abandonment, and adultery.

Together, we explore:

• Why betrayal wounds the soul — not just the heart or mind

• What real soul-care looks like after trauma (and why “just pray more” often isn’t enough)

• How self-compassion becomes a critical healing practice after gaslighting and self-doubt

• Why healing in isolation keeps wounds open — and how safe community supports restoration

• The difference between accountability, support, and pressure disguised as “help”

• What forgiveness is — and what it is not

• Why forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation, tolerance, or bypassing harm

• How faith-centered healing honors truth, boundaries, agency, and dignity

This episode is a grounding reminder that:

You are allowed to be tender with yourself.

You are not meant to heal alone.

And forgiveness is never meant to cost you your safety or your soul.

If you’ve struggled with guilt, pressure to “move on,” or confusion about forgiveness and faith after betrayal — this conversation was created for you.

Betrayal doesn’t just break trust, it breaks the world you thought you were living in.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Jeni Brockbank, author of Healing in Christ’s Light, for a grounded and faith-centered discussion on the realities of abuse, addiction, abandonment, and adultery, including the deep trauma that follows.

Together, we explore:

• What betrayal trauma actually is and why it impacts the nervous system so intensely
• Gaslighting and spiritual manipulation — how they warp your sense of reality
• Why you start to question your sanity (hint: you’re not crazy — you’re in trauma)
• The difference between unsafe support that causes more harm… and safe support that helps you heal
• How to hold onto your identity, worth, and faith when your partner’s choices create chaos
• What real safety looks like in your body, in your soul, and in your relationships
• How healing in the light of Christ supports truth, clarity, and empowerment

This episode is a validating reminder that:

You didn’t cause this.

You’re not alone in it.

And your healing is sacred.

If you’ve ever felt confused, spiritually conflicted, or unsure where to turn — this conversation was made for you.

When the person who promised to love you is the one who caused the deepest harm, it creates a specific kind of trauma — one rooted in injustice. Betrayal trauma shatters safety, damages trust, and turns your entire world upside down. And yet… women are so often told to “be more understanding,” “let it go,” or “move on.”

In today’s episode, we’re naming what so many experience but rarely say out loud:

What happened to you was unjust.

And your anger? It’s not a flaw — it’s a sign of your worth and your wound.

Together, we explore:

• The deep injustice of betrayal and how it reshapes your sense of reality
• Why anger shows up in every chapter — past, present, and future
• The anger tied to uncertainty and the pain of not knowing what comes next
• How anger reflects your longing for truth, stability, and fairness
• Ways anger can become a guide back to clarity, safety, and self-respect

We draw from insights in Betrayal Trauma Anger by Dr. Crystal Hollenbeck — not to pathologize your anger, but to understand it as a natural response to harm.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of your emotional reactions — especially if you’ve been judging yourself for them.

Key Reminder:

You are not overreacting.

You are responding to a real violation.

And your anger can be a powerful ally on your way back home to yourself.
