betrayal

Sara Slaybaugh experienced the emotions and discouragement of a toxic marriage. Many of us want a wholesome, long-term relationship to illuminate each other. As a person of faith, Sara hoped to get healthy support from fellow believers. She experienced mixed support from various people. Sara is now remarried with a blended family. Through her life experience, she works with divorced Christian women to coach them to learn how to find a loving and supportive relationship. Based on her experience, she understands the emotions of being a divorced Christian and feeling like an outsider in your previous circles. She coaches others to navigate being a newly single mom while helping them overcome the emotion of not wanting to date again to avoid a similar experience. Many Christian women experience weariness around being vulnerable to experiencing another toxic relationship. No one wants rejection. Through her experience, she developed ways to be practical with time, energy, or emotions to find the right person for a wholesome relationship. She has learned what to look for in a relationship while knowing what and how to say “no.” You can learn more about Sara at https://www.facebook.com/groups/confidenceandconnectionforsinglechristianwomen, YouTube: www.youtube.com/@SaraSlaybaughCoaching, and My free guide: www.saraslaybaugh.com/freeguide.

It's no secret that people who have been betrayed often have a hard time forgiving the person who betrayed them. Resistance to "letting them off the hook" is understandable. In this illuminative conversation with Professor Everette Worthington, we learn the science and research behind forgiveness - what it is, how to do it, and why it matters for our health and wellbeing. 

Everett Worthington is Commonwealth Professor Emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University. Ev (which he prefers to be called) notes that his salary is retired but he isn't. He still maintains a license as a Clinical Psychologist in Virginia, and he has published over 45 books and 500 scholarly publications. Currently, he is completing a couple of books (self-forgiveness and couple therapy), and he usually publishes about 20 articles a year, mostly related to forgiveness, humility, and other positive psychology topics. He says that his life mission is "to do all I can to promote forgiveness in every willing heart, home, and homeland."

Ron and Marty discuss their life experience and marriage of trust. Some people immediately trust others, while others "cogitate" over trust in relationships. It is a matter of personality in combination with life perspective and experiences, and trust is essential in a connected relationship and being an effective leader. An organization's people feel comfortable knowing they can trust their leaders. Dating and marriage can last when you know you can trust your mate. So, how can you know if you can trust a potential mate? Ron and Marty have a digital relationship course grounded in their marriage journey that began 7 September 1968. It is fulfilling. However, we know the best is yet to come.

This week, Kristen and Pecolia explore the complex subject of cheating. Why do people do it? What are some signs your significant other is cheating? Join us as we discuss. 

Erin Clements continues her life story of marriage betrayal and her recovery. Her emotional recovery required about six months of healing. During that time, she hoped she could share with and garner empathy from those inside her church. She was uncertain if she could share her innermost feelings within her church for fear of judgment or ridicule. She felt the emotional support she needed came more from outside the church than inside. She explains many of the emotions she experienced during this life trauma recovery period.

Erin Clements was committed to marriage permanence when she learned of her husband’s sexual infidelity. The revelation stunned Erin to the point of total devastation. For a while, she felt she had lost her life purpose. She felt betrayed. She wondered if God still loved her because He allowed her to experience this break in trust. “How can I possibly recover from this?” Through therapy and the trust of close friends, Erin is now purposing her life to help others overcome similar experiences. Knowing how to apply boundaries in the context of God’s Word was integral to her continuing recovery.

Dr. Debi Silber addresses betrayal from her life experience and doctoral studies. Some people live with the effects of betrayal that tend to erode us, similar to untreated cancer. Broken trust can take much longer to restore than the time to originally establish that trust. “I will never trust you again” is a familiar expression of betrayal. Dr. Silber and her husband’s marriage ended because of betrayal, and she married him again because of his and her respective transformations. Dr. Silber has discovered the research-based and proven Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough we go through if we are to fully heal physically, mentally and emotionally, from betrayal. When we do, we can love again, feel safe again, trust again. She has two quizzes at https://thepbtinstitute.com/ that can help us determine if betrayal is adversely affecting our life and mental health.

Crystal Baptiste chronicles a portion of her life where she wanted to know why she was treated the way she was at an early age. Nearly 35 years later, she gained a new perspective based on her indigenous parentage. A historical recounting of how things were for her Plains Cree enrolled tribal upbringing provided the perspective she needed to understand what her mother endured during her childhood. That new perspective was the impetus for Crystal to restore her relationship with her mother.
