When you have experienced heartbreak or betrayal, it’s hard not to fall into thought spirals. You may find yourself bracing for impact as you think: If this worst-case scenario happened in the past, when will something else bad happen again?
But if we’re honest ... So many times, we spiral in our thoughts about things we can’t control.
In this episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel will help you see that even when you're spiraling, you may feel powerless but you have choices you can make to find your way forward.

S7 E4 | Are There Some People We Shouldn’t Trust Again?
Can I trust this person? This is a big question, especially after a betrayal has occurred.
The deeper the wound, the longer the repair will take. But not all repairs are equal. You see, there is a difference between wise trust and blind trust. Of course, there is space for grace in relationships, but it shouldn’t be sloppy grace where deceptions and dysfunctions are glossed over.
In this episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel will help you see that rebuilding trust requires a combination of three crucial things.
