#3 How do we even begin to heal?

A warm welcome to the third episode of the Choosing to Stay podcast; today, we will delve into the significance of emotional and physical safety. We admire and acknowledge the courage and strength necessary to embark on the path toward recovery, restoration, and building healthy relationships. When there has been betrayal, it's essential to establish foundational relational safety. Recovery, with a focus on sobriety, should be deliberate. The ultimate goal is to foster meaningful connections.

• It is crucial to prioritize individual recovery and healing as a part of the overall relational healing process.


• Sexual integrity issues are often due to past wounds or trauma.


• Showing empathy towards your partner. Understanding their feelings and perspectives can help strengthen your relationship and create a deeper emotional connection. Taking time to listen and validate their experiences actively.


• Learn how to communicate empathetically with these examples.


• Acknowledging and affirming the distress caused by challenges linked to sexual integrity is crucial.
