Roxanna Johnson on Healing From Betrayal Trauma and Finding Yourself Again | 1,651

Roxanna Johnson believes healing does not require us to minimize what happened. It begins by acknowledging the pain while rediscovering the identity, faith, and hope that betrayal can make difficult to see. An author, speaker, and advocate, Roxanna dedicates her work to supporting spouses and partners of those struggling with sexual addiction. Her perspective is shaped by her own lived experience in recovery, a background in research, and years spent alongside others navigating betrayal trauma and the complex journey toward healing. Through her book, Forgotten In The Battle with Sexual Addiction: The Journey of a Spouse, Roxanna gives a voice to those who can often feel overlooked while attention is focused on the person struggling with addiction. Her writing brings a Christ-centered perspective to the experience of betrayal, creating space to acknowledge the depth of the hurt while also exploring the possibility of renewal. Roxanna's work extends beyond the page. As a recovery meeting group facilitator, she supports others through conversations rooted in compassion, honesty, and shared understanding. She has also spoken at the Utah Coalition Against Pornography Conference and appeared on programs including Unafraid Unashamed and the SA Lifeline Podcast. At the heart of her work is a commitment to reminding spouses and partners that their experiences matter too. Healing, in Roxanna's view, is not about pretending the wounds were insignificant or rushing toward resolution. It is about facing what has happened truthfully while rebuilding a sense of self that is not defined by another person's choices. Her message is simple: healing honors the pain without allowing it to become your identity. Through truth, faith, and hope, it is possible to rediscover who you are and move toward renewal.
