Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery. This is Anne. I'm so excited for you to get to know Coach Joy.

Joy is the new coaching coordinator at Betrayal Trauma Recovery and she's amazing.

Joy has had 25 years of combined betrayal trauma, recovery, and coaching experience.

She's been trained by Apsats and the American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy.

She got her coaching certification at BYU. So in

addition to her coaching certification she has a bachelor's degree in marriage

and family studies and is a therapeutic counselor candidate. Here at Betrayal Trauma Recovery,

she specializes in helping women recognize and establish safety around

their husband's abusive behaviors and she helps women navigate relationships

where the abuse seems to have stopped but to make sure that the women stay safe

in those situations. She also really helps women who have experienced secondary trauma from other

therapists or clergy helping women opt out of the abuse and set boundaries with not only the abuser but also maybe family, friends, clergy,

congregation members, other people around who might not understand what's going on.

And she empowers women to opt out of that abuse while holding strong to their faith,

helping women from any and all faith backgrounds to make decisions based on their values

and supporting them in that way.

So welcome Joy.

You spelled Joy J-O-I.

So if any of you during this time

want to email Joy and ask for some questions,

it's J-O-I Joy at B-T-R dot org. So let's start Joy. Tell me about the work that you do at betrayal trauma recovery.

Yeah, so when women come to B-T-, they are often just desperate for peace.
