#231 - Paige's Perspective: Why the “Codependent” Label Gets It Wrong
from Till The Wheels Fall Off Hosted by TWFO Couple - Matt & Paige Robinson
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, I’m breaking down the truth about betrayal trauma — and why it’s so much more than cheating. From financial betrayal to chronic lies, gaslighting, broken promises, and crossed boundaries, betrayal in a relationship takes many forms and leaves deep wounds. Too often, betrayed partners get slapped with the “codependent” label, which shifts blame away from the person who caused the harm and piles shame on someone already hurting. I’ll share real-life examples, explain how betrayal trauma impacts your brain and body, and talk about how the recovery world needs to shift its focus from pathologizing survival instincts to supporting real healing.
