Welcome to Betrayal Trauma Recovery, BTR.org. I'm Anne. I'm sure you remember what it was like when you were searching for help, maybe for your husband, hoping to find the right program or therapist. That's why I started podcasting. I supported my husband through seven years of pornography addiction recovery and not one therapist during that time told me I was experiencing emotional

and psychological abuse and sexual coercion. I didn't want any other woman on the planet to be in

the dark. If you're like the majority of my listeners, you're experiencing the type of abuse that's

invisible and difficult to wrap your head around. Your husband is using porn or having

affairs or lying to you, and you're getting the same bad advice about how to improve communication

or your relationship. If you need support from women who totally understand, check out our daily

group session schedule at BTR.org slash group. We'd love to see you in a session today. One simple, anonymous way to help spread the word

is to click, follow, or subscribe to the Betrayal Trauma Recovery podcast on your favorite

podcasting app. While you're there, every five-star rating helps make this podcast more visible

and will help save other women from getting the wrong kind of help, like a couple

program that will make this type of abuse worse. For those of you who follow or subscribe to this

podcast, thank you so much. Your support means so much to me. Women frequently write to me

about how they feel, what they're going through, what they think of betrayal, trauma recovery,

and how grateful

they are for my podcast and the services at BTR.org. So today I'm going to share some of these

messages with you. I'll be reading them. And then I also receive some audio recordings from women.

So I'll be playing those for you. If you'd like to come on the podcast and talk to me, I would love to talk to you.

Please come share your experience with me. If you want to do that, email podcast at BTR.org.

Or if you're shy and you want to share, but you don't want to talk to me, which I don't blame you

if you don't want to talk to me. You can use voice recordings on your phone and email that to podcast at BTR.org and then I can share it on the

podcast anonymously. It means so much to me to hear from you. I am so honored to listen to your

story and share that space with you. It warms my spirits to hear from you and it keeps me going.
