Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery, BTR.org. I'm Anne. We've opened up some new group session times that work for Australians and also for women in the UK.

Go to BTR.org slash group to see if the group sessions will work for you. 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, because 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 lying to you, using porn or having affairs or some other type of emotional

and psychological abuse, and you're getting the same bad advice about how and psychological abuse, 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, our coaches can help you sort through this. We'd love to see you

in a group session today. If this podcast is helpful to you and you wish you'd

found it sooner, one simple anonymous way to help spread the word is to click, follow, or

subscribe on the Betrayal Trauma Recovery podcast. 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. Your support means I can continue sharing this

life-changing information with women throughout the world for free. Scroll to the bottom of any page

on BTR.org and click on Support the podcast. Thank you. I couldn't do this without you.

I'm honored to have a member of our community on the podcast today. We're going to call her

Florence. She's 75 years old. She's experienced over 40 years of betrayal trauma. She discovered

her husband's infidelity just three days after their wedding.

She is strong, insightful, and courageous. Florence, can you talk about your first reaction
