#192: If You Had Broken Trust, What Would You Do To Rebuild It?

Therapy Brothers Discussion: After years of hiding his addiction and breaking his wife's trust, a man must face his demons head on to rebuild any chance of a future with her and become a better man. I had broken my partner's trust by betraying her and engaging in harmful behavior. I was desperately trying to hide it, but she had eventually discovered what I had done. We had reached a point of broken trust and I wanted to fix it, so I began to work on myself. I looked inwardly and honestly at my own behavior, chipping away at my character flaws, and becoming proactive in my honesty with people. I worked on myself and I watched myself transform into a passionate, tender, curious and empathetic man, and I was finally able to find real recovery. In this episode: 1. How can you rebuild trust after it has been broken? 2. How does one reconcile a life of addiction with a desire to be honest and have integrity? 3. How can you work through character flaws that may have contributed to breaking trust in the first place? // SUBMIT A QUESTION + SCHEDULE A CALL // We would love to answer any questions you have about addiction, trauma, recovery, healing, and anything you can think of.
