Summary
We are glad you found our season 1 episodes where we share early parts of our processes of learning about and exploring the impacts of betrayal on our relationship, 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.
If you would like support from a licensed therapist contact Brannon’s office at www.utahtherapy.org

| 0:28.0 | Today I want to talk about a kind of a tricky topic that some couples can get hung up on and maybe |
| 0:37.3 | shed a little bit of light on it and and give some clarity and what I want to |
| 0:41.0 | talk about is when or if the betrayed should disclose to family and friends and how to get support. |
| 0:52.0 | And so first I want to talk about some hurdles with that |
| 0:56.0 | and things that happen. |
| 0:58.0 | So one of the biggest hurdles with disclosing to other people is that you feel embarrassed. |
| 1:05.0 | You just you don't want to open up to anybody. |
| 1:08.0 | So even though the betrayal has happened, even though he has cheated on you or he's looking at porn or |
| 1:14.9 | whatever it is you don't want anybody to know that you have that issue in your |
| 1:19.8 | marriage and so you can stay isolated and alone in that and getting support is really |
| 1:25.8 | important. So one of the hurdles is embarrassment. The other is is denial |
| 1:31.0 | which is you don't want to disclose to anybody because if you do then |
| 1:35.6 | you're going to have to face the pain of it more so and it's easier to just just kind of |
