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. It's just me today. Before I discovered

the living free strategies, I was searching to figure out how to deliver, even before

I knew the word deliver myself and my children from a situation that we were in because we were

being abused for eight years post-divorce and I couldn't figure out how to protect us. So I searched a lot and I prayed a lot. And this episode

is from back then when I was studying the scriptures a lot. So if you're not interested in hearing

me talk about scriptures, maybe skip this episode. This is my study of boundaries. And since then and through the

process of doing this, I discovered the living free strategies, which I then used. And now my kids and I are

completely free. And like all the things that I hoped for did come to pass. So that's brought so much

peace. And I love being able to share

this with you with hope and faith, knowing that this is possible, even though it might be very

hard. My goal is to bring you hope to take one step at a time. You can find the living free strategies
