Welcome to betrayal trauma recovery. This is Anne. We have a member of our community on today sharing her story.

I'm so grateful for those of you who come and share your story. If you're interested in sharing,

please contact my assistant, Kari, K-A-R-I at BTR.org. Let her know like a synopsis of your situation

and that you want to come on the

podcast. We'll use a pseudonym for you so that it's safe and we really appreciate those of you

who have the courage to share. Many of you listeners are members of Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group,

which is a daily online support group that has multiple sessions a day in your time zone.

If you have been listening to this for a while and you haven't talked with a professional

coach or a group or you've met to maybe a codependent-based group where there's some

victim blaming happening and it's not taken from a trauma perspective.

Try it out. You get over 90 sessions a month for the same price as one therapy session. It is inexpensive.

We did it like that on purpose. We also did it online on purpose so that you don't have to find

child care. You don't have to get transportation. You can do it in

your closet. You can do it in your car as long as you have internet. It's really safe. So check out

the betrayal trauma recovery group. Go to BTR.org. We'd love to see you in a session today. Now for

today's interview. Marty Bown is joining us today.

She is a public speaker sharing what she has learned through her own personal journey of surviving betrayal, trauma, addiction, divorce, the negative effects and consequences of pornography, and navigating a new life as a single mother.

She is an advocate for helping others find resources, including

therapy, as they move forward with hope and faith in their healing. You can find her on

Instagram at Marnie Bown, and you spell Bown B-O-W-N. So it's M-A-R-N-I-B-O-W-N. Welcome, Marnie.

Thanks for having me.

So let's start with your story.
