They've been betrayed and manipulated and violated by the person that was supposed to keep them safe. And it's almost like these intrusive thoughts. It's so devastating for them but to say, hey, look, there is hope out there.
Imagine discovering that your partner has been unfaithful. The shock, the anger, the heartbreak—it's a trauma that cuts deep. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Marnie Breecker, a seasoned sex addiction therapist and marriage and family therapist, to unpack the complex world of relational and betrayal trauma.
Breecker, who works at the Center for Relational Healing in Los Angeles, dives into the profound effects that infidelity can have on both partners in a relationship. She explains that there are two main types of trauma involved: the initial trauma of discovering the betrayal and the secondary trauma of processing that betrayal. It's a double-edged sword that can leave affected partners grappling with symptoms like depression, hypervigilance, and even lifestyle changes such as smoking or drinking.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Breecker offers a glimmer of hope by discussing recovery strategies and steps partners can take to heal. She also sheds light on the differences between trauma and codependency models in treatment, providing valuable insights for anyone dealing with or supporting someone through this kind of trauma. If you're looking to understand the emotional rollercoaster that comes with relational and betrayal trauma, this episode is a must-listen.
