148 | Are You Helping or Hindering Your Wife's Betrayal Trauma Recovery?

About this episode

The episode discusses how husbands can support their wives' recovery from betrayal trauma, exploring the motivations behind their suggestions and the impact on healing.

In our coaching practice, we see patterns emerge in different areas that tell a bigger story about what is going on in the minds husbands who have betrayed, and their traumatized wives. Today we are going to talk about the scenario of a husband making suggestions for the recovery and healing of his wife. This is tricky ground. The husband’s motivation can come from a place of genuine concern or from something more self-serving. Is either one of these approaches helpful? We’ll unpack this quandary, and give you some hope for working out this issue in a way that pleases God and gives him the glory. We pray this blesses you, Johnny and Emily 💚TIP JAR If this episode brought you hope or encouragement, please leave us a little blessing to help us keep our content ad-free! 💜Work with us! coaching.beyondbrokenvows.com 💜Hang out with us and support our ministry on Patreon, beyondbrokenvows.com/partner 💜Become a Beyond Broken Vows Insider!
