Healing Broken Trust In Your Marriage After Infidelity

In this episode of "Healing Broken Trust," Brad and Morgan Robinson discuss the concept of "pre-assurance," a proactive approach to offering reassurance to a partner before they are triggered, especially during the holiday season. They explore how pre-assurance can help partners feel emotionally safe and valued, emphasizing the importance of understanding and discussing each other's triggers. The episode provides practical advice on offering pre-assurance in various situations, such as during holidays, social gatherings, before going out, and before physical intimacy. They also discuss the significance of patience, transparency, and communication in rebuilding trust after infidelity. Additionally, they touch on the role of trauma treatment, specifically EMDR, in the healing process and mention their workshop program that includes a trauma component.   We are available to help you heal broken trust.  We have several ways to get help.  Speak with us about your situation Schedule a Discovery Call Couples Workshops:  https://healingbrokentrust.com/hbtworkshop Stop My Divorce: https://healingbrokentrust.com/stop-my-divorce Podcast Resources: https://healingbrokentrust.com/podcast   You can call our office at 918-281-6060 Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM CST.  Contact us on the web at healingbrokentrust.com.

In this episode we discuss the differences between "fantasy love" or "limerence" and "companionship love" or "real love".  We explain how limerence is an intense, emotionally volatile form of love driven by attraction and fantasy, while companionship love is a deeper, more stable form of love built on mutual commitment, trust, and shared values.  The speakers emphasize that companionship love, while less flashy, is ultimately more sustainable and fulfilling in the long run.   We are available to help you heal broken trust.  We have several ways to get help.  Couples Workshops:  https://healingbrokentrust.com/hbtworkshop Stop My Divorce: https://healingbrokentrust.com/stop-my-divorce Help for the Betrayed: https://healingbrokentrust.com/betrayed-spouse-masterclass Help for the Unfaithful: https://healingbrokentrust.com/healers-workshop Podcast Resources: https://healingbrokentrust.com/podcast   You can call our office at 918-281-6060 Monday-Friday 9AM-6PM CST.  Contact us on the web at healingbrokentrust.com.  

Friendships are a normal and healthy part of life. We all need people outside of our romantic relationships who support us, make us laugh, and share our interests. But sometimes, a close friendship can slowly turn into something more—even without us realizing it. Emotional affairs don't happen overnight. They start off innocent—just good conversations, just inside jokes, just feeling understood. But over time, the emotional connection deepens, secrets start forming, and the lines get blurry. The trcky part? Emotional affairs don't always involve physical intimacy, making them harder to recognize—and even harder to admit. You might tell yourself it's nothing, even as you hide texts, crave their attention, or feel guilty about how much you think about them. So, how do you know if your friendship is just a friendship or if it's damaging your relationship? The key is spotting the differences between the two.
