Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The History Of Betrayal Trauma Recovery - A Legacy Of Hope & Faith<br> For those of you who are newly familiar with Betrayal Trauma Recovery, I want to give you a brief history of how this site and how Betrayal Trauma Recovery evolved. In 2015, after seven years of attempting to “help” my husband with his anger problems and his pornography addiction, he sprained my fingers and pushed me against some kitchen cabinets during an argument.<br> <br> He was arrested for domestic violence. The judge gave him a no-contact order, which is like a protective order. That was the first time I’d ever conceived that he really was an abusive person.<br> <br> I waited, hoping for him to take accountability for his actions and to come back home to us, and to change, to truly repent. He decided to file for divorce nine months later. During that time, I prayed and prayed and prayed, and the only answer that I received was to start a podcast, which is how this podcast started.<br> How Faith Aids In Recovery<br> At the end of 2016, Betrayal Trauma Recovery became a non-profit, and six APSATS coaches came on board. The coaches were very good at coaching. They knew the topics that they wanted to coach on. We knew what women needed, but we didn’t exactly know the best way to go about it. We’ve been through several different phases.<br> <br> For example, if you listen to the beginning podcasts, you’ll hear us talking about free consultations. We were so inundated with those that we had to stop. Also, I used to go by the name Anon.<br> <br> Anne Blythe is not my real name. My friend had a Facebook account with the name Anne Blythe, named after Anne Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. I ended up adopting that Facebook account and I ended up adopting that name to represent all of us, because my story is the universal story.<br> <br> The details might be a little bit different, but we all go through a period of denial, and then we all go through a period of “help” our husband’s or support him. Then we all go through a period of thinking, “I need to set boundaries.”<br> Faith Should Support Healing From Trauma<br> Anyway, then we decided to do Betrayal Trauma Recovery Club, which was awesome, and then we found that that name was confusing people, because who goes to a “club” for this. It’s like the worst club ever, but also the coolest. We found that support group works better, so we changed the name to Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group.<br> <br> You can see it on the website as daily support groups. It’s all the same thing, it’s just our group that happens every single day. We also have two sessions on Tuesdays and two on Wednesdays. Women come to online from all over the world. They can get to know our coaches and get immediate help and assistance as they need it. You can also schedule individual sessions, which we used to call support calls.<br> <br> If you listen to the whole podcast, you’ll be like, “Wow, they call things different names,” because, as we have evolved, we’ve realized better ways to serve you, based on your feedback and based on your needs. I really appreciate your patience.<br> <br> I’m so grateful for this new chapter of Betrayal Trauma Recovery with the summer starting. I just want to talk about my garden really quickly. I am an avid gardener. I have nine fruit trees, five 12x2 garden boxes. A huge section of my garden in my front yard, where I grow self-proclaimed prize-winning pumpkins.<br>
