In this episode of Ask The Betrayed, Sharon and Rae dive into the third stage of betrayal trauma recovery: Post-Traumatic Growth - also known as the Reconnection Phase. This is the season when survivors begin shifting from survival to strength. Sharon and Rae unpack what it means to reconnect not only with others - but also with your truest self. You'll hear personal stories, insights, and practical encouragement for stepping out of safety - your "protection mode" - and into empowered living. Together, they explore: • What post-traumatic growth really looks like • How to move from "functional dissociation" to embodied living • Why reconnecting with yourself is essential (even if reconnection with your partner isn't possible) • How your personal boundaries free you to connect with yourself again • How to do this bravely and within your own values • How anniversaries can mark transformational milestones This stage is about moving forward with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose. Whether you're months or years into your healing, this conversation will inspire you to claim your voice and re-enter the story of your own life. 🔔 Please subscribe for new episodes 📬 If you have questions you'd like us to answer in an episode, or would like to inquire about coaching with Rae or therapy help, including intensives, with Sharon and James, please reach out to us at: [email protected] 📺 For more helpful content, we invite you to explore our companion show: Ask The Unfaithful (@AskTheUnfaithful on YouTube) 👇 We'd love to hear what resonated most for you - or you can ask your question for a future episode.
