  • My favorite podcast

    Let me just say, I’m not someone who writes reviews. This is my first podcast review ever, and may likely be my last. But Carl and Laura’s boldness has given me hope and helped me move forward through many days over the last 2 years when nothing else did.

  • Let’s move on

    I loved every episode of this podcast when it first started. I loved the different guest, different perspectives and subjects and how it all tied back into faith. Now it’s just this weekly podcast about infidelity in a marriage. It’s kind of beating a dead horse at this point. Let’s move on.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Forgiveness, Triggers, Relapse, and Alcohol: Your Questions Answered
Q: What is the impact of alcohol on betrayal recovery and how should couples approach it?
Alcohol tends to interfere with recovery by dulling emotional regulation and judgment; couples are urged to consider whether drinking supports healing or undermines it and to discuss environmental changes to protect the marriage.
Forgiveness, Triggers, Relapse, and Alcohol: Your Questions Answered
Q: How do you handle the fear of relapse and the possibility of repeating old patterns?
Focus on creating a life with strong evidence of change and clear boundaries, rather than chasing guarantees; acknowledge that missteps can happen but build conditions that minimize opportunities for relapse.
Forgiveness, Triggers, Relapse, and Alcohol: Your Questions Answered
Q: How do you discern whether your fear is from the present moment or a withdrawal from past betrayals?
Ask whether what you're feeling is happening now or is rooted in historical evidence; use present context to guide your response and continue to evaluate the current situation rather than reacting to past patterns.
The Three Listener Questions Every Betrayed Spouse Needs to Hear
Q: What would you tell a couple who are taking steps forward navigating through betrayal?
The first step is for the betrayer to own their shame in a way that shifts from self-pity to accountability, stay present with the wounded partner, and avoid using the other person as a shield or excuse; communication about triggers and boundaries, along with consistent action, is essential for rebuilding trust.
How to come back to each other after years of drift
Q: How long does it take to come back to each other after years of drift?
It depends on mindset and consistency; progress starts with a commitment to becoming more connected each day and creating evidence of that connection.
