The Difference Between a Passive or Proactive Recovery - Episode 217

During the process of recovering from betrayal trauma, couples will often find themselves in a passive or proactive state. In this episode we discuss how those who have betrayed trust are usually playing offense or defense as they work to rebuild trust. While both scenarios may include steps forward and not acting out anymore, both vary widely on the impact they have on the betrayed partner and their sense of safety and trust.
