In this episode, Attorney Gwendolyn J. Sterk and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Troy Westercamp take on one of the most painful challenges a relationship can face: the loss of trust. Whether it’s infidelity, financial secrecy, or broken promises, betrayal shakes everything a couple thought was solid.
Gwen and Troy discuss what can happen emotionally in those first moments of discovery and why each partner often processes the experience so differently. They talk about how long that initial pain may actually last, why “time heals everything” is only half true, and what real healing requires beyond just waiting it out.
They break down what the rebuilding process may look like: the slow steps, the setbacks, and the signs that a relationship may genuinely have a path forward. They also touch on a piece that often gets overlooked: learning to trust yourself again after being blindsided.
