What happens when a mental health professional finds herself navigating betrayal, manipulation, and a high conflict breakup?

In this powerful episode of the Divorce Coaches Academy® Podcast, Debra Doak sits down with licensed professional counselor, behavioral health executive, speaker, and author Connie Crowe to discuss the realities of recovering from a relationship with a high conflict, manipulative partner. Connie shares why traditional therapy alone wasn't enough, how working with an ADR Divorce Coach transformed her healing journey, and what it took to rebuild trust in herself after betrayal.

Together, they explore betrayal trauma, decision fatigue, psychological safety, values based decision making, healthy boundaries, and why highly empathetic, conscientious people can become vulnerable to unhealthy relationship dynamics. Whether you're a divorce professional supporting clients or someone navigating your own separation or breakup, this conversation offers practical insight, hope, and a powerful reminder that healing begins when you reclaim your own agency.

• Why betrayal trauma often requires support beyond traditional therapy
• How an ADR Divorce Coach helps clients navigate complex decisions with confidence
• The power of values based decision making during major life transitions
• Why psychological safety is essential for healing
• How to recognize unhealthy relationship patterns without losing yourself

Connie Crowe, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor, behavioral health executive, speaker, and author of Wired to Glow: The New Psychology of Super Traits. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience, she helps women understand trauma, recognize unhealthy relationship dynamics, trust their intuition, and reclaim their power.
