In this conversation with Stacey Sadler, Cheryl Rogers, and Kathy Reynolds, they reflect both personally and professionally on this evolution and discuss how neglecting the treatment of betrayal trauma has consequences not only for the betrayed partner, but also the entire family system.

Carol the Coach will be interviewing Shann Davis who leads a confidential women’s ministry group at Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, Texas called Sisters on a Journey for women who have been betrayed by their spouse’s sexual sin (affairs, both physical or emotional.) Her goal is to help empower the women through Jesus Christ and find their identity in Him. Most women enter the class traumatized so they spend the first several weeks learning various tools for stabilization and self-care. The group discovers through scripture who God says they are which helps begin to dispel the lies that partners come to believe as a result of the spouse’s deception and gaslighting. By finding their identity in Christ, they give up the victim role and embrace the strength and power believers have in Christ. They work on understanding they cannot fix anyone else and talk about boundaries and what those look like. A turning point for the women is when they share their personal story and are affirmed by the others in the group.
