Welcome to betrayal trauma recovery. This is Anne. I have a member of our community on today's

episode. She'll also be returning next week. She's going to be sharing her story. Before we get to

that, thank you to those of you who have given us a five-star rating on Apple podcasts or your

other podcasting apps. Isolated women are finding us because of your reviews. Here's a five-star

review we recently received. It's titled Love this Podcast. All women should listen to the podcast

to gain an attitude of open-mindedness and to learn to empathize with a sister, neighbor or friend

who might be in or has left an abusive relationship. I do not consider myself a victim or a survivor.

I locked out and married a man who treats me better than I deserve. I hope I'm not the only listener

who hasn't been or is in an abusive relationship who listens to these strong brave souls who share

their stories. There is so much to learn. This podcast helped me learn to recognize when someone

is being manipulative and learn to create boundaries on how people treat me. I could go on and on

about the podcast. The host is very passionate about the podcast and it shows. I love that there are

no ads. As a graduate MFT student, I have developed a better understanding that many women are victims

of misogyny due to their religious or cultural backgrounds. I stand with them and hope they can get

to safety. Please support this podcast even if you are single, happily married, divorced,

widowed or whatever your situation may be. Help women feel loved, valued and mostly safe.

Thank you so much for giving us that review. If you haven't and you're so inclined,

please give us a five-star review on Apple Podcast or other podcasting apps. Like I said,

when women are searching online, all of these reviews really help women find us and that's the

best thing we can do so that we can stop other women from going through the pain and chaos that we

had to go through when we went down the pornography addiction recovery road for years, let's say,

or we went down different roads trying to figure out what was going on and we never recognized it.
