Why You're Not Healing at the Same Speed

One of the most common fears couples face after betrayal is the feeling of being out of sync. One partner seems to be moving faster. The other feels stuck or confused. One wants to talk. The other wants space. And both start wondering, Why aren’t we healing the same? What does this say about our relationship?In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why couples never heal at the same pace and why that’s not necessarily a sign of failure. It’s a sign that each person is doing different work with different starting points, needs, wounds, and responsibilities.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Shouldn't Love Be Enough?

We grow up believing that if someone truly loves us, they’ll just know what we need. That love will automatically teach them how to comfort, protect, and show up in the right ways. But when betrayal or disconnection happens, that belief gets tested—and often shattered.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody talk about why love alone isn’t enough to heal after betrayal. They explore how this belief shows up differently for the betrayed partner, the recovering partner, and the couple as a whole—and what it really takes to rebuild connection when love is present, but understanding is missing.<ul><li>Why betrayed partners often equate missed needs with being unlovable</li><li>How the belief “If you really loved me, you’d just know” traps both partners in pain</li><li>Why recovering partners feel crushing pressure to get everything right</li><li>The difference between love as a feeling and love as a daily practice</li><li>How skill-building, vulnerability, and accountability transform love into safety</li></ul>______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Calming the Storm Together

After betrayal, both partners are caught in a storm of overwhelming emotions and survival responses. The betrayed partner feels the instinct to pull away for safety. The recovering partner often feels paralyzed by shame and the fear of doing more damage. Both are protecting themselves—and both feel alone.In this episode, Geoff and Jody unpack why calming down together may feel impossible, but is actually key to long-term healing. They explore the natural push-pull dynamic created by betrayal trauma and offer a roadmap for how each partner can move toward stability, individually and together.In This Episode, You’ll Learn:<ul><li>For the Betrayed Partner: Why distance is a survival response and why still longing for connection doesn’t make you weak or “codependent.”</li><li>For the Recovering Partner: How your presence is what creates safety, and why allowing your partner to move toward and away from you is one of the most powerful repair actions you can take.</li><li>For the Couple: How to move out of a cycle of fear, shame, and reactivity and into a shared commitment to safety as the foundation of rebuilding trust.</li></ul>______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

"But It Only Happened Once..."

We often hear minimizing phrases like “It only happened once” or “Why make such a big deal out of it?” The intention may be to calm fears or move forward quickly—but instead, it often creates more confusion, pressure, and disconnection.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why “just once” almost never feels small to either partner, and why minimizing actually blocks healing instead of speeding it up.<ul><li>Why “just once” lands as dismissal for the betrayed partner and activates the body’s threat response</li><li>How minimizing traps the recovering partner in shame and prevents genuine repair</li><li>The hidden pressure this phrase puts on the betrayed partner to get over it quickly and silence their own instincts</li><li>The truth behind one-time breaches: even a single betrayal communicates capability, vulnerability, and risk</li><li>How couples get stuck in collusion, both wanting to move on but feeling unsafe or unheard</li><li>What healthy repair looks like instead: honest conversation, space to ask questions, and freedom to explore impact</li></ul>Even if a behavior happened only once, its meaning is never small. One act communicates capacity, shifts safety, and opens the door to doubt. Real healing starts when both partners face the truth openly—not when they minimize it.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Protecting Your Relationship from an Emotional Affair

Most people assume infidelity only matters when it becomes physical, but emotional infidelity can cut just as deep—and often deeper. When your partner gives emotional intimacy, attention, and affection to someone else, it leaves you questioning your place in the relationship and doubting your own instincts.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why emotional infidelity is so damaging, why it’s often minimized, and what couples can do to protect their relationship from these subtle breaches of trust.They explore:<ul><li>Why betrayed partners often feel confused or pressured to minimize emotional cheating</li><li>How “we’re just friends” becomes one of the most common forms of denial</li><li>The danger of familiarity and unchecked closeness with someone outside the marriage</li><li>Why protecting exclusivity in emotional connection matters as much as sexual fidelity</li><li>How couples can set healthy boundaries that protect their emotional bond</li></ul>You’ll also hear Geoff and Jody share personal stories from their own marriage, illustrating how even innocent moments—like sharing music or interests too intimately with someone else—can cross emotional boundaries.This episode reframes emotional infidelity as a legitimate breach of trust that requires care, repair, and clarity. You’ll learn how to recognize red flags, have honest conversations about boundaries, and protect what’s sacred between you and your partner.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal <a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com/You-Me-Us-A-Way-Forward-After-Betrayal">Get your copy here</a>.______________________________Join the Courageous Together™ ProgramCourageous Together™ isn’t just another course, it’s a trauma-informed roadmap that holds both of you in the healing process.

Telling the Truth Isn't Enough

We’ve all heard the phrase “honesty is the best policy.” But after betrayal, many couples find that simply telling the truth doesn’t always bring the healing they hoped for. In fact, sometimes the way truth is shared causes even more pain, confusion, and distance.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody explore why truth on its own isn’t enough to rebuild trust—and how it must be paired with safety, accountability, and compassion to actually repair a relationship.You’ll hear:<ul><li>Why the way truth is shared can do more harm than good</li><li>How betrayed partners experience “cold truth” that destabilizes rather than heals</li><li>Why recovering partners often confuse telling their story with telling the truth</li><li>How structure, timing, and accountability create safer truth-telling</li><li>Why full healing requires equal ground, where both partners know the same truth</li></ul>Geoff and Jody unpack the tension between the betrayed partner’s right to know and the recovering partner’s responsibility to share honestly and safely. You’ll learn why disclosure must be structured—not controlled—and how thoughtful truth-telling becomes the foundation for rebuilding trust.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

The Truth Behind Overreacting in Betrayal Trauma Recovery

If you’re the betrayed partner, you know what it’s like to be hit with waves of emotion that feel impossible to control. One moment you’re holding it together, and the next you’re flooded with anger, grief, or fear. You may even wonder if you’re too much—or if you’re going crazy for reacting so strongly.And if you’re the recovering partner, you know how unsettling it is to face these storms. You want predictability, calm, and a path forward, but instead you feel powerless and defensive. Both of you are left asking: Why does this keep happening, and what are we supposed to do with it?In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody pull apart this cycle so you can finally understand what’s really happening underneath these reactions. They explore:<ul><li>Why betrayed partners’ strong emotions are survival responses, not “overreactions”</li><li>How shame fuels defensiveness and blame for the recovering partner</li><li>Why this dynamic often gets mislabeled as a “marriage problem” instead of a betrayal issue</li><li>The different responsibilities of each partner in recovery—and why they’re not the same</li><li>How couples can begin to work with these emotions instead of against them</li></ul>The key message: You’re not crazy—you’ve been through something crazy. These strong emotions are a normal, human response to relational trauma. And when both partners can understand and lean into this truth, healing and connection can begin.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Trust Isn't Built How You Think

When trust has been broken, the recovering partner often feels pressure to prove they can be trusted again. They may follow instructions perfectly, track progress, and work hard to “get it right.” But instead of bringing closeness, all that proving can backfire—turning the betrayed partner into an audience who feels pressured to respond with gratitude or forgiveness before they’re ready.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why proving often stalls healing and what it means to shift from proving trust to providing safety. They share: • Why performance-based proving creates pressure and can feel transactional • How providing safety relieves pressure and supports the betrayed partner’s nervous system • Why safety—not proof—creates the soil where real trust can grow • How couples benefit when the focus shifts from evidence to presence • Practical ways betrayed and recovering partners can move forward at their own paceThe conversation highlights a simple but powerful reframe: trust isn’t what builds safety—safety is what builds trust.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Are You Behind in Your Recovery?

Do you ever feel like you’re falling behind in healing? You look around and it seems like everyone else is moving forward while you’re stuck, spinning, or even slipping backward. The truth is—you might be doing all the right things, but healing doesn’t follow a straight line.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack the belief that you’re “behind” in recovery. They explore how this shows up differently for betrayed partners, recovering partners, and couples—and reveal what’s really happening beneath the surface.You’ll hear: • Why betrayed partners often feel years behind from the moment of discovery • How comparison, past wounds, and betrayal blindness intensify the feeling of being stuck • Why recovering partners live with the fear of being in the “perpetual doghouse” • How couples together can carry a sense of “couple shame” that erases past progress • Why healing is not linear, but layered and indirect—and why that’s actually hopefulIf you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing recovery “right,” this episode will help you see that showing up—even when it feels messy—is part of the healing process.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Betrayal: Accountability vs. Expectations

After betrayal, couples often find themselves trapped in a cycle. The unfaithful partner wants to explain, while the betrayed partner longs for real accountability. Instead of bringing clarity, explanations often sound like excuses. The betrayed partner feels dismissed, the unfaithful partner feels shut down, and the cycle repeats.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody explore why this dynamic is so common and what couples can do differently. You’ll hear:<ul><li> Why betrayed partners feel torn between their own pain and their natural empathy</li><li> How betrayal blindness can lead to minimizing wounds just to keep the peace</li><li> Why the recovering partner’s instinct to explain often blocks healing</li><li> How the order of repair—accountability first, explanation later—creates safety and trust</li><li> Practical steps both partners can take to break the cycle and move forward</li></ul>Using stories, clinical insights, and personal examples, Geoff and Jody show why accountability must come before explanation and how this shift can transform the healing process.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Who Goes First in Recovery?

After betrayal, many couples get stuck in a painful waiting game. The betrayed partner wants proof of safety before risking vulnerability, while the recovering partner waits for reassurance before stepping forward. Both feel paralyzed, and the relationship stalls.In this episode, Geoff and Jody break down how each partner can move forward without waiting for the other to go first. They explore: • The difference between individual healing and relational repair • Why betrayed partners often freeze and how honesty becomes the first courageous step • Why recovering partners hesitate and how leaning into discomfort builds trust • How both partners can create momentum by taking small, authentic stepsYou’ll hear how courage looks different for each partner, and how choosing to move—rather than waiting—creates the foundation for healing and reconnection.

We're Stable, But Are We Actually Healing?

This episode is taken from a presentation I gave at the Betrayal Healing Conference earlier this year, where I shared what later-stage recovery really looks like for couples working to rebuild trust and connection.In this episode, we talk about what it takes for couples to truly thrive after the initial crisis of betrayal has passed.

Key Takeaways✅ Later-stage recovery is often overlooked, but it’s essential for rebuilding connection✅ Surviving crisis is not the same as building a new relationship✅ Emotional intimacy, shared vision, and curiosity fuel long-term healing✅ You need new skills for this stage, old crisis tools won’t get you there Free Video Training for Betrayed Partners: <a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com/romance-after-betrayal">https://www.geoffsteurer.com/romance-after-betrayal</a> If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who might need it.

When Men Are Betrayed: Breaking the Silence Around Male Betrayal Trauma

When it comes to betrayal, we often hear one story: the man cheats, the woman is hurt, and support rallies around her. But what happens when the script is flipped? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Adam Nisenson, a coach and author who helps men navigate betrayal trauma—a subject that’s rarely talked about and often misunderstood.Adam shares his own experience of being betrayed, the cultural narratives that silence men in pain, and why so many men suffer in isolation. We explore how betrayal crushes identity, triggers deep ego wounds, and leaves men unsure of how to move forward.This episode offers insight, language, and hope for betrayed men—and for those who love them. 🎁 <a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com/freebie">Download My Free Course</a>: First Steps to Rebuilding Trust 📋Join me in the <a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com/courageous-together">Courageous Together™</a> Program Let’s Stay Connected:🌍<a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com">Website</a> 📩<a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com/newsletter-opt-in-social-media">Subscribe to My Email List</a> 📍<a href="http://www.instagram.com/geoffsteurer/">Instagram</a>🪧<a href="http://www.facebook.com/GeoffSteurerMFT">Facebook</a>🎙️<a href="https://www.geoffsteurer.com/podcast">Listen to More Podcast Episodes</a> About Geoff Steurer: I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, relationship educator, and coach with over 20 years of experience.

Betrayal trauma is devastating on its own—but for many betrayed partners, there’s a deeper, more disorienting layer they can’t name: covert abuse.

What About the Kids? How Betrayal Impacts Children and How to Support Them

When betrayal strikes a marriage, the pain is immediate for the couple—but what about the children? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we speak with Morgan Ellsworth, a board-certified betrayal trauma coach and MFT student, who brings both personal and professional experience to this often-overlooked topic. Morgan was a teenager when her family experienced betrayal, and she vulnerably shares what it was like to navigate that chaos without support or guidance. Today, she works with families, betrayed partners, and children affected by betrayal trauma, advocating for a whole-family approach to healing. We discuss how children experience betrayal, how parents can support them without oversharing or hiding the truth, and what it takes to repair the parent-child relationship over time.
