Episode 51: Betrayal Trauma with Lindsay Poelman

January 04, 20222 min read

Lindsay Poelman is back on the show this week, and she’s here to give us the lowdown on betrayal trauma. Lindsay is a coach who specializes in working with spouses healing from pornography, and trauma is often a huge focus that comes up in her practice.

If you’re unsure about what trauma means and what it can look like, you’re not alone. There are so many forms of trauma we can develop, and whether you’ve personally experienced betrayal trauma or not, she’s here to help us be more trauma-informed so we can better support ourselves. 

Listen in this week as Lindsay gives us insight into the importance of recognizing and addressing betrayal trauma. After her own experience of it and discovering the tools that helped her heal, she’s here to offer tips for minimizing the extent of your trauma, and to light a path towards empowerment and trust. 

Lindsay is going to be facilitating marriage calls in Overcome Pornography for Good every month in 2022! These calls will be completely free to you if you’re a member, and you can also attend with your spouse, so we hope to see you there!
