A Circle of Joy

Love is not a destination; it's a path you choose to walk again and again, shedding layers of your own armor.

True love stretches you beyond the version of you that thought it should always feel safe. It requires you to open, then close, then open again—the essential, ongoing work is yours, regardless of your partner.

Sincere forgiveness is an act of release, not expectation. You don't need the other person to apologize or finally understand you to move forward. Your work is to love them and release them.

Trust that life will feed back the truth to them in its own time. Your peace doesn't depend on their change.

That feeling that you're not worth loving when someone can't love you well? That story is a lie. 💔

Remember: Their behavior reflects their capacity, not an ounce of your worth.

Your work now is to protect your dignity: set boundaries, stay grounded, and choose responses that honor the beautiful person you are.

It was wonderful to sit down and talk about the healing power of empathy!

I wrote Learn Empathy: Help Your Betrayed Wife Heal because I kept hearing a heartbreaking truth: women were leaving their husbands, even after they got sober, because the men didn't know how to provide empathy. Sobriety alone wasn't enough to heal the trauma.

Betrayal feels like the foundation of your life vanishes. It is physiological trauma, and the only way to heal the relationship is for the partner to provide consistent empathy, which means climbing down the ladder and sitting with them in their pain.

The beautiful news is that empathy can be learned! I'm dedicated to helping men in my groups reparent themselves and gain the essential skills of attachment and emotional presence.

I invite you to read the full blog post and watch the interview where I discuss:

Why betrayal trauma is so devastating.

The difference between a partner's healing and relationship restoration.

Why attachment is the foundation of empathy.
