Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery, BTR.org. I'm Anne. I'm sure you remember what it was like when you were searching for help, maybe for your husband, hoping to find the right program or therapist. That's why I started podcasting. I supported my husband through seven years of pornography addiction recovery and not one therapist during that time told me I was experiencing emotional

and psychological abuse and sexual coercion. I didn't want any other woman on the planet to be in

the dark. If you're like the majority of my listeners, you're experiencing the type of abuse that's

invisible and difficult to wrap your head around. Your husband is using porn or having

affairs or lying to you, and you're getting the same bad advice about how to improve communication

or your relationship. If you need support from women who totally understand, check out our daily

group session schedule at BTR.org slash group. We'd love to see you in a session today. One simple, anonymous way to help spread the word

is to click, follow, or subscribe to the Betrayal Trauma Recovery podcast on your favorite

podcasting app. While you're there, every five-star rating helps make this podcast more visible

and will help save other women from getting the wrong kind of help, like a couple

program that will make this type of abuse worse. For those of you who follow or subscribe to this

podcast, thank you so much. Your support means so much to me. Here's a five-star review we received

on Apple Podcasts. You are home. Anne and the amazing BTR coaches, you are the pioneers in the field of

domestic abuse and betrayal trauma. After trying marriage and family counseling, two well-known

CSATs, 12-step programs, and reading everything I could get my hands on, I was done. I couldn't

feel better. Why? Because I wasn't the problem. I was being abused. BTR saved my life and my

children. This is what you are doing. You are saving lives. Thank you. To women considering this podcast,

if you feel confused, numb, foggy, isolated, if you are lying to protect your husband or make him

sound better than he is to family and friends. You are home.

It is heart-wrenching to begin to accept that it's been abuse this whole time, but your BTR coach

will stay with you through the whole process as your eyes open and you begin to understand that

you were never the problem. You are home, my friend. Don't let anyone tell you you deserve to fill
