Why and How Self-Esteem Plummets after Discovery

With your co-hostesses: Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com Support HFW through a donation Listen now: Today, we are discussing why and how a betrayed partner's self-esteem decreases after discovery. Self-esteem is your sense of overall personal worth or value. Similar to self-respect, it describes your level of confidence in your abilities and attributes.  One of the criteria for post traumatic stress in the DSM-5 is "Persistent and exaggerated negative beliefs or expectations about oneself, others, or the world." So, it makes sense that a large percentage of betrayed wives experience this drastic drop in their confidence. We Will be Discussing: What are some experiences betrayed partners have with loss of self-esteem? How does this lack of self-esteem affect recovery from betrayal trauma? What hope can we leave?
