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. Today we have several members of our

community who will be sharing their feelings about attending BTR group sessions.

Some of these Shiro's you're about to hear wrote down their thoughts, and then they read them to

us and others just shared what was in their heart in the moment. So keep that in mind as you

listen and go to BTR slash group to check out our session schedule.

We've tried many different counselors, including CSATs, and been doing that quite some time.

But being on BTR for just a few weeks has made all the difference.

And I can really see the behaviors now much more clearly, the dysfunction, being able to be on every day and get the validation from the coaches and the other women has just been tremendously helpful to me, life-changing.
