  • Why You're Not Healing at the Same Speed

    Why You're Not Healing at the Same Speed
    Nov 13 2025
    One of the most common fears couples face after betrayal is the feeling of being out of sync. One partner seems to be moving faster. The other feels stuck or confused. One wants to talk. The other wants space. And both start wondering, Why aren’t we healing the same? What does this say about our relationship? In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why couples never heal at the same pace and why that’s not necessarily a sign of failure. It’s a sign that each person is doing different work with different starting points, needs, wounds, and responsibilities. In this episode, you’ll learn: For the Betrayed Partner Why you often feel “behind” early on, and why that feeling is actually a trauma responseHow being kept in the dark creates an enormous informational gapWhy your slower pace is actually your body protecting youLiving with integrity means you’re often ahead in emotional maturity and stability For the Recovering Partner Why the early “relief” of truth-telling can create the illusion of being further alongHow early recovery often becomes performative, focused on checklists and behaviorsWhy deeper work begins after the secrets endHow shame, discomfort, and old coping patterns can pull you back into control or quick fixes For the Couple Why comparing timelines always leads to shame, pressure, or resentmentHow to stay connected even when your healing paces look completely differentWhy “doing your own work” creates more safety than trying to match each other’s progressWhat it really means to share a healing path without forcing your partner into your pace ______________________________ Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal When betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

  • Shouldn't Love Be Enough?

    Shouldn't Love Be Enough?
    Nov 6 2025
    We grow up believing that if someone truly loves us, they’ll just know what we need. That love will automatically teach them how to comfort, protect, and show up in the right ways. But when betrayal or disconnection happens, that belief gets tested—and often shattered. In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody talk about why love alone isn’t enough to heal after betrayal. They explore how this belief shows up differently for the betrayed partner, the recovering partner, and the couple as a whole—and what it really takes to rebuild connection when love is present, but understanding is missing. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why betrayed partners often equate missed needs with being unlovableHow the belief “If you really loved me, you’d just know” traps both partners in painWhy recovering partners feel crushing pressure to get everything rightThe difference between love as a feeling and love as a daily practiceHow skill-building, vulnerability, and accountability transform love into safety ______________________________ Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal When betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.
