In this episode, David addresses a recent comment saying that people who betray others are betrayed themselves, and couldn't help hurting others as a result of that passing down. In other words: Hurt People, Hurt People, and we can leave it at that.

But can understanding the wounds caused to those who then betray settle the matter? Or can that be a block for some in recovery who don't want to take full accountability? David looks at three various levels of accountability on this topic to explore what can go wrong and what can go right in this stage of recovery.

In this episode, David and Eileen talk about the difficult steps that come when two hurt people want to come together to have a hard, honest conversation. This often can come up when the betrayer needs to reveal a new truth to their hurting partner in order to develop a new level of honesty. What gets in the way of being fully honest, and how can we adjust to keep our word?

David and Eileen explore the challenges both in the betrayed and the betrayer to work through this difficult conversation and ultimately come out closer together once honesty has been given. Hope and healing are possible if the hard work can be done in truth.

In this episode, David and Eileen talk about the ultimate killer of intimacy post-betrayal: defensiveness. This shows up mostly when the betrayer is trying to do things differently, but their past actions are brought up. When this happens, it can spiral them into shame or defensiveness. The betrayed has every right to bring these wounds up, and navigating these conversations WITHOUT defensiveness is key to healing and intimacy. But how do you do that? David and Eileen give you some tips.

In this episode, David and Eileen talk about the differences between being vulnerable and offering reassurance. They discuss how sometimes it sways too far to one side ("I got this, don't worry") or to the other ("I have no idea how to do this"), and where most assurance comes from the discovery of honesty.
