Kristin M, Snowden, MA, LMFT, CDWF specializes in betrayal trauma, addiction recovery, and helping individuals/couples navigate relationship crises. This is a free webinar provided for WeTonglen.com members (female betrayed partners of male sex addicts) but is helpful and informative for anyone in severe couples crises and looking for a healthier way forward. Kristin educates on concepts around betrayal blindness (the unawareness, notknowing, and forgetting exhibited by people towards betrayal). What is it? What causes it? And how to prevent it. Kristin also discusses the Fawning trauma response (related to the fight, flight, freeze trauma/stress responses)also known as the "please and appease" stress response. These two responses can occur in intimate relationships where there might be a hidden addiction, infidelity, or emotional abuse regularly occurring. Kristin helps viewers understand how betrayal blindness and one's trauma responses can sometimes become obstacles to betrayed partners setting and holding boundaries and/or getting their wants/needs met in their relationships. Understanding how these relational reactions show up can help viewers change painful patterns or become unstuck from an abusive relationship dynamic. This is helpful for betrayed partners, people struggling in their life and relationships, recovering addicts, and trauma survivors.
