Position vs Character

from Beyond Affairs · host Anne & Brian Bercht

In this episode, Brian Bercht introduces a foundational recovery principle: separating the position the affair partner played from their character as a person. When character and behavior get confused, healing conversations turn defensive, emotional, and unproductive. Brian explains why spouses who acted unfaithfully often defend the affair partner, why betrayed spouses feel compelled to vilify them, and how both reactions can quietly sabotage recovery. You’ll learn how to talk about the other person with clarity, accuracy, and purpose. Without minimizing the harm, escalating conflict, or protecting the wrong things. Yes, you can move beyond the pain and get the life you want. www.beyondaffairs.com 360.306.3367
