概要

 Rebuilding Self-Trust After Betrayal: Empowerment, Group Healing, and Learning to Trust Yourself Again Host: MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, CSAT, CPTT Guest: Jennifer Johnson, CMHC, CSAT, CPTT Episode Summary Rebuilding trust after sexual betrayal begins not with your partner—but with yourself. In this deeply meaningful episode of Rise: Hope and Healing After Sexual Betrayal, host MaryAnn Michaelis, LCSW, CSAT, CPTT, sits down with her longtime mentor, colleague, and friend Jennifer Johnson, CMHC, CSAT, CPTT, for a powerful conversation on self-trust, group healing, and empowerment after betrayal trauma. Jennifer—who has worked with betrayed partners for over 15 years—shares clinical wisdom, lived experience, and practical metaphors that have shaped an entire generation of betrayal trauma therapists, including MaryAnn herself. Together, they explore how betrayal erodes a person’s sense of reality, safety, and self-confidence—and how trust can be rebuilt through validation, embodiment, boundaries, and resourcing. This episode is especially for listeners who feel confused, disconnected from their bodies, unsure of their reality, or afraid of their own reactions. Through stories, metaphors, and trauma-informed insight, MaryAnn and Jennifer offer a grounded path forward—one rooted in compassion, strength, and self-reliance. Key Topics Discussed Why sexual betrayal shatters self-trust and internal safety The power of group work and the healing impact of “me too” Why comparing betrayal stories minimizes pain—and why pain is pain The “drowning in 5 feet vs. 20 feet of water” metaphor How gaslighting and shame erode self-trust Learning to trust your body after trauma responses and triggers Why self-trust is independent of a partner’s recovery The “Water Your Own Tree” analogy: differentiation and empowerment Resourcing yourself for safety and stability Trauma as powerlessness—and why action restores agency The stages of healing: victim → survival → thriving The “getting hit by a bus” metaphor for trauma, recovery, and relearning trust Why healing does not mean abandoning the relationship The role of therapy, groups, books, and community in rebuilding trust Key Takeaways Betrayal trauma disrupts your sense of reality—but you are not crazy Self-trust is rebuilt through validation, embodiment, and action Group healing reduces isolation and restores internal safety You can strengthen yourself without moving away from your partner Empowerment comes from recognizing your resources and choices Healing is a process—and different stages require different care Trusting yourself means learning what your body, emotions, and intuition need now Metaphors & Frameworks Shared Water Your Own Tree: Strengthening yourself without abandoning the relationship Drowning Is Drowning: Pain does not need to be compared to be valid Preparing resources for safety and self-reliance Getting Hit by a Bus: Trauma recovery as stabilization, rehabilitation, and relearning trust Victim → Survival → Thriving: Normal stages of betrayal trauma healing Books Recommended in This Episode Intimate Deception – Sheri Keffer, PhD The Betrayal Bind – Michelle Mays, LPC Ambushed by Betrayal Workbook About the Guest Jennifer Johnson, CMHC, CSAT and CPTT, is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Farmington, Utah, specializing in betrayal trauma recovery for over 15 years.
