The Betrayed, The Addicted, and the Expert is a podcast that started out as an opportunity to open up the discussion of how to move forward after infidelity, or an affair. We discuss the heavy stuff and share Coby and Ashlynn's real life experience of recovery after sex addiction and betrayal trauma. All this is done along side an expert in sex addiction Brannon Patrick.

Whether you are struggling with the super heavy stuff of broken trust in your relationship, or if you just want to improve your communication and create better connection, this podcast will give you so much of what you are looking for.

Additionally, Dr. Navarra contributed an article on couple recovery from addiction for the Encyclopedia of Couple and Family Therapy.

Based on his research at Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto California, Dr. Navarra created Roadmap for the Journey: A Path for Couple Recovery, a two-day workshop for couples in recovery from an addictive disorder. Roadmap for the Journey has been a featured workshop at Hazelden Betty Ford and has been given at treatment programs as well as in small, semi-private workshop settings. Dr. Navarra and Dr. John Gottman are currently researching the impact of Roadmap for the Journey in helping couples integrate recovery in their relationship, a missing element in most treatment programs. In collaboration with The Gottman Institute, Dr. Navarra has created a one-training workshop for counselors and therapists, called Couples and Addiction Recovery.

We are glad you found our season 3 episodes where we share some of our most advanced learnings and bring amazing experts on when it comes to relationships, and the challenges of healing both sides of the relationship after sex addiction and infidelity.

Our journey has taken us a long ways from the time we recorded these episodes, but many have still found help and hope for healing in the information. 

We hope you always seek healing first for yourself, and where possible for the relationship, though staying together or choosing divorce or separation can occur at the point of betrayal and at times even after healing from betrayal and addictions.

If you would like support in healing from betrayal we’d invite you to look at our program https://www.beyond-enough.com/beyondbetrayal

It is not a program about staying together or leaving your partner, but rather finding the healing we need as an individual who has been made aware of our partner cheating.
