Episode 25: What's up with denial (part 1)?

With your Co-Hostesses: Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com Welcome to Season 2: At Hope For Wives where we acknowledge the devastation of sexual betrayal and infidelity while offering practical insight and hope for healing, all through a Christian lens. We also hope you'll find some joy through laughter in spite of our serious subject.   Pam, Lyschel, and I are returning to the recording studio from a 6 month hiatus which was loudly protested by many of our precious listeners. We heard you! and We also want to model for you what excellent self-care and self-containtment boundaries look like.Before we get into the meat of our discussion today, which is around Denial and Betrayal Blindness, we are going to first briefly remind you all of who we are and our mission with this podcast.   Pam – We've seen through the last season that our audience includes not only betrayed partners, but husbands in recovery, CSATs, APSATs, marriage and family therapists, and religious leaders.   Lyschel – We commit to continuing to intentionally format this podcast as a "road map to recovery."   Bonny – As mentioned in the intro, our mission is to acknowledge the devastation of sex betrayal and infidelity while offering practical insight and hope for healing it's all through a Christian lens and we also hope you'll find some joy through laughter in spite of our serious subject. We will be discussing: When we talk about a betrayed wife possibly experiencing denial, what do we mean? Did you ever experience denial or "betrayal blindness?" What grace/hope we can offer our listeners? Catch the rest of this discussion in our next episode. Thanks for joining us for Season 2!
