Episode 5: Why is Resentment so Destructive in the Life of the Unfaithful?

Resentment in the life of an Unfaithful is not only toxic but can also be paralyzing. Trying to heal themselves as well as their relationship is hard enough without the roadblock of resentment and bitterness. In order for the Unfaithful to gain traction with both their betrayed spouse as well as their own healing, recovery work has to focus on identifying, uprooting and healing all forms of resentment in their life. As former Unfaithfuls, both James and I can attest to deep seated resentment before, during and even in early recovery after our betrayal. Having walked free of resentment for almost two decades, we're able to identify just how much resistance we both encountered early on in our journey. Maybe you too are dealing with resentment as an Unfaithful? Perhaps the resentment is not at your partner or spouse but at yourself? If that's the case, can you really heal and find freedom from resentment? The answer is a resounding yes! However, without a plan we're doomed to repeat our failures and stay stuck in cycles of trauma reenactment, relapse and even addiction. Today James and I invite you to listen with an open heart and open hands. A heart to receive and hands to do actual repair and recovery work that can yield results in both your life and even your betrayed's.

Please do a couple of episodes on Shame/Resentment , distorted perception and projection.
It feels very close to a process of self-delusion/entitlement while having cognitive dissonance exacerbating imposter syndrome. Then it becomes a spiral. 😢

And then translate into plain language.

There is so much gold in this podcast. The shame spiral into being a trauma response was so very well worded.

As a betrayed, I've been listening to all these things for years now. The more I learn the more impossible it seems that my spouse will ever heal. He has 5 or 6 diagnosis. I want to hope but it will be 6 yrs in Aug and he still claims there's nothing wrong and just keeps woman hoping. Which is now showing up in our 13 yr old. 😢

Please send me the information for the intensives that James & Sharon do.

As a Betrayed, a lot of the content in this episode didn't resonate with me. Maybe it helps listening Unfaithfuls better. If any other Betrayeds feel different, please comment on that. I may not have been open enough.
