#102 Recovery Is a Journey: What Physical Healing Teaches Us About Emotional Repair

In this powerful episode of Choosing to Stay After Infidelity and Betrayal, Hali is joined by her coaching colleague, Rachel Strong, to explore the similarities between physical and emotional healing. Rachel, who recently broke her elbow while ice skating, shares her personal experience of recovery and how it mirrors the emotional journey of healing from betrayal and infidelity.  Recovery, whether physical or emotional, is rarely a solo journey. The importance of seeking help from professionals, support groups, or trusted individuals plays a key role in both types of healing. Both emotional and physical healing take time. The episode emphasizes taking small, intentional steps forward and celebrating the progress, no matter how incremental it may seem. Rachel and Hali explore how acceptance and grief are essential parts of the healing process. Just as you need to grieve the loss of your physical strength after an injury, emotional healing involves accepting the pain and moving through grief to move forward.
