In this powerful episode of Ask the Betrayed, Sharon and Rae expose the Big Fat Lies that keep betrayed partners trapped in pain and confusion after infidelity. From the cultural myths of “Good things happen to good people” to the heartbreaking belief that “Once a cheater, always a cheater,” this conversation dismantles the false stories that sabotage healing.
Together, they share real-life examples and clinical insights on:
✅ Why we cling to lies like “If I were better, this wouldn’t have happened.” ✅ How shame, denial, and comparison keep you emotionally stuck. ✅ Why believing “People can’t change” blocks recovery for both partners. ✅ How endurance and “being strong” can actually become a trauma response. ✅ What genuine healing looks like when truth replaces self-blame.
You’ll also hear deeply personal reflections—from Sharon’s story of objectification and “CEO-style” relationships to Rae’s raw honesty about the panic, comparison, and self-loss that betrayal creates. This episode is a compassionate reminder that your pain matters, your boundaries are sacred, and your healing is possible.
💬 Key Takeaways: • Betrayal trauma thrives on false narratives—healing begins when you stop believing them. • You didn’t cause the betrayal. • Strength isn’t pretending you’re fine—it’s choosing truth over survival mode. • You can believe in change without abandoning your safety.
