Healing in Christ’s Light, Part 2: Soul-Care, Community and “Forgiveness.” Interview with Jeni Brockbank

from The Betrayal Trauma Recovery Bookshelf · host Rachel Strong Smith

Betrayal doesn’t just break trust — it fractures your connection to yourself, to others, and often to God.In Part 2 of this conversation, I’m again joined by Jeni Brockbank, author of Healing in Christ’s Light, to explore what it looks like to move beyond survival and into deeper healing after betrayal — without bypassing pain or rushing the process.This episode centers on soul-care, compassion, and truth-based healing for women navigating the aftermath of abuse, addiction, abandonment, and adultery.Together, we explore:• Why betrayal wounds the soul — not just the heart or mind• What real soul-care looks like after trauma (and why “just pray more” often isn’t enough)• How self-compassion becomes a critical healing practice after gaslighting and self-doubt• Why healing in isolation keeps wounds open — and how safe community supports restoration• The difference between accountability, support, and pressure disguised as “help”• What forgiveness is — and what it is not• Why forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation, tolerance, or bypassing harm• How faith-centered healing honors truth, boundaries, agency, and dignityThis episode is a grounding reminder that:You are allowed to be tender with yourself.You are not meant to heal alone.And forgiveness is never meant to cost you your safety or your soul.If you’ve struggled with guilt, pressure to “move on,” or confusion about forgiveness and faith after betrayal — this conversation was created for you.🌟 Meet Our Guest: Jeni BrockbankJeni Brockbank lives in northern Utah with her six children, where she works as a betrayal trauma coach and podcaster.
