Betrayal trauma occurs when trust is violated within a relationship, creating a profound alteration of reality for the betrayed partner and causing symptoms similar to PTSD. David Jones, a licensed marriage and family therapist, shares insights on the unique challenges of betrayal trauma and offers a three-part framework for healing.• Betrayal trauma is defined as an "alteration of reality" - discovering that what you thought was true about your relationship wasn't• What makes betrayal trauma unique is that the betrayed often must interact with the source of their trauma• The "three legs of the stool" framework for healing: boundaries, individual coping skills/self-care, and connections• Recovery takes significant time - often years - but healing is possible whether the relationship continues or ends• Forgiveness does not equal trust - forgiveness is releasing bitterness while trust must be earned through consistent behavior• Emotional safety forms the foundation for rebuilding connection after betrayal• Support people should be "marriage friendly" if the couple is working toward reconciliationIf you'd like to learn more about the resources discussed in this episode, visit Secure Connection Counseling at secureconnectioncounseling.com or explore the resources available at StrongerMarriage.org.David's Links:https://secureconnectioncounseling.com/About David Jones:David Jones is dedicated to strengthening marriages and families.

She received her Bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and her Master's of Education with an emphasis in Family Life Education. Amberly has a specific passion for marriage relationships and helping couples make their marriage a priority throughout every stage of life.

We seek after wisdom, and we believe wisdom is the highest possible form of knowledge. Brittany Homer from the Raising Today's Kids podcast and Project Stand. “I remember when I was young, realizing the importance of giving children a good foundation, how if they are given a good foundation in their life, then there is no limit to their potential.” – Brittany Homer “Anytime you try to change the economy of God, you're doing it wrong.” – Haitian guide as remembered by Brittany Homer “In order to help children be successful, in order to help them reach their potential, parents have to do their job, and parents have to know how to do their job, and parents have to feel empowered.” – Brittany Homer “If I'm going to prevent human trafficking, I've got to address pornography exposure and help people prevent that or address that.” – Brittany Homer “We felt like, in order to keep kids safe from all of these forms of sexual exploitation that are out there, we've got to help them be safe online.” – Brittany Homer “Really the most important factor is that parent-child relationship.” – Brittany Homer Some organizations that Brittany mentioned include the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, Fight the New Drug, White Ribbon Week, Defend Young Minds, The Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation, the Utah Coalition Against Pornography, Utah PTA Digital Wellness Committee, and Safeguard Alliance. “I love how we are all in the business of trying to help children and strengthen families.” – Brittany Homer “I feel like God is at the core of everything that I do, and so I find a lot of strength in Him, and I feel like sometimes He guides me to spend some time learning, and sometimes He guides me to just slow down and focus on the people.” – Brittany Homer “Too much screen time can be related to sleep. Problems, aggression, desensitization, nightmares, fear, impulsivity, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, low attention span. I mean, there's so, so many negative things that are associated with too much screen time.” – Brittany Homer “The more time someone uses social media, the more likely they are to be depressed. Social media increases the risk of bullying, clique forming, sexual experimentation. It leads to privacy issues, Internet addiction, sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression.” – Brittany Homer “Cyberbullying – One in four children has experienced cyberbullying, and cyberbullying victims are two times more likely to commit suicide.” – Brittany Homer “This statistic blew my mind: 27% of all video content online is pornographic.” – Brittany Homer “I'm very hopeful, because I know that children can be resilient.” – Brittany Homer “I believe that an educated parent can just be so powerful in the lives of their kids and protecting them.” – Brittany Homer “I'm just so glad that you followed up those statistics with hope and that idea that if we can teach them to use their screen time wisely, then there's nothing that they can't do. I think that's really encouraging and exciting. It puts a lot of pressure on us parents, but it's exciting. We can become educated.” – Dana Robb Healthy Technology Path “Take ‘Just a SEC' – Stop, Evaluate, Choose – whenever you're going to post or search or share something online.” – Brittany Homer “I love your approach to questions. It's not accusatory. It's not assuming that they're doing something bad or dumb, and you're allowing them to collaborate with you and to share their inner selves. And I love the section where you focus on values and helping them discover their own. I think, as parents so many times we assume that we're going to instill in them our values and what's important to us is going to be important to them, but it's so much more powerful to discover where they're at and help them decide on their values, and there's such a range of good values out there. We don't have to have all the same things.” – Dana Robb “Parents are the most important protective factor, and you are qualified to be the parent of your children. And not only are you qualified, but you're qualified today right now.” – Brittany Homer “Wisdom is achieved by uniting our internal compass or conscience with our life experiences.” – Dana Robb   Brittany has always believed that with the right tools and support there is no limit to a child's potential. She has a master's degree in Family and Human Development, is a Certified Family Life Educator, and is creator and host of the podcast, Raising Today's Kids where she shares her deep belief in the power of parents. Brittany has also served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), Sexual Assault (SANE) Advocate, and is actively involved in the Safeguard Alliance (a task force of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation). ​ Brittany has a bucket list the length of Montana. She would love to experience every adventure from learning to yodel, to running an ultra-marathon, to seeing the northern lights from a hot spring. She loves to travel and integrate with the locals wherever she goes and has had life-changing conversations in cultures from Israel to Haiti. The experience that trumps all others though, is that of being a mother. She and her husband feel so blessed to have four children who inspire her to fight to protect all children.

A coach and a facilitator for Dr. Mark Roseman, Ann also facilitates support groups for alienated parents, where her passion lies. Cancel Culture was discussed as it is really important as we are members of the culture; the linguistic genomics shows the lies and the functional forgeries that take place in Family Court where parents aren't allowed to be in the parental role. These parents are being robbed of their right to parent due to another parent being angry and/or has more financial power. The government authority is invading the sovereign power and rights of parents. Schools, child psychologists and the family law field are guilty of this. It is so important for alienated parents to connect with each other and this builds good-will, support and rapport and the only way these parents can heal is to be supportive of each other. This support can be more powerful than therapy or other treatments. Ann talks about support groups at the Resolution Center in Jacksonville Florida. Dr. Mark Roseman will start a support group on September 22, 2021 and Adina Lebowitz of Elan Health has a support groups as well.

Hi, I'm Brittany Homer, a dedicated mom, defender of childhood, and Certified Family Life Educator (provisional). I am passionate about all kids receiving their best chance at success in life, and believe that parents and caregivers carry the weight of guiding and supporting their children to achieve that. ​ Children are born innocent and vulnerable, and unfortunately the world we live in attempts to take advantage of that. Pornography, anxiety and depression, abuse and neglect, human trafficking, bullying, and more are modern threats to childhood. Please join me for this introductory episode as I discuss how there is SO MUCH loving parents or caregivers can do about it! I will share personal experiences that have led me to creating this podcast, and leave you with hope that you are uniquely qualified to be the parent in your child's life.
