She kicked him out in the heat of the moment and now she wants to transform the separation into therapeutic, what would you say to her?
How is a therapeutic separation a form of mental health care?
What do you tell the kids about the separation?
What hope can we leave?

Today, we are approaching another type of betrayal we hear far too often from women navigating their healing journey, being missed when going to their community of faith after betrayal. We thought we would approach this conversation a little differently and encourage faith communities. Many of us don’t know what we don’t know. When we learn and know better we can do better.

Dr. Barb Steffens is joining us today and helping us understand how a faith community can be a safe and responsive community for betrayed partners.

We Will be Discussing:

What are some common experiences for women being “missed” by their faith community.
What should a care pastor/faith leader/community do when meeting with a betrayed wife or the couple after discovery?
What to do when they want you to fix it? What resources can they offer?
What do you do when a woman doesn’t understand her impact, yet?
What if a woman reaches a brick wall with getting support from her faith community, should she stay where is, or to seek a new faith community? Other options?
What hope can we leave for our listeners today?
