What happens when betrayal doesn’t just break your heart… but shatters your identity?

In this episode of Healing and Growing Hand in Hand, we are joined by Lora Cheadle — former attorney, author, and betrayal recovery expert — for a powerful conversation about betrayal trauma, infidelity, healing after betrayal, and the ripple effect trauma has on intimate relationships and families.

Laura shares her personal story of discovering her husband’s long-term infidelity and explains why betrayal is more than grief — it’s a deep loss of identity, trust, safety, and self. Together, we discuss how trauma responses can fuel destructive behaviors, how healing can happen on both sides, and why recovery requires boundaries, self-trust, and compassion.

In this episode, Danielle Bernock, a Relationship Repair Specialist, discusses the subtle yet profound impact of "childhood emotional neglect recovery." She highlights how "child neglect" is often an absence, a missing element, rather than an overt event, making it particularly difficult to recognize compared to abuse. Understanding "emotional neglect in childhood" is crucial for individuals who feel they were "neglected as a child," as it sheds light on what was absent during their formative years. This perspective is vital for those on a journey of "overcoming neglect" and addressing the long-term effects of "childhood trauma."

Why can’t trauma survivors sleep — even when they’re exhausted?

In this Experts Explain Trauma episode, Lisa Tickel sits down with Dr. Iden to unpack what’s really happening in the brain and body when rest doesn’t come easily.

They explore how trauma rewires your body’s threat detection system, why the nervous system can’t “switch off,” and what to do when your brain starts racing the moment your head hits the pillow.

You’ll also learn about a simple evidence-based technique called constructive worry that can calm your mind before bed — helping you finally rest without your thoughts taking over.

Why do I feel worse now than before I even started healing?

In this episode of Experts Explain Trauma, Lisa Tickel and Dr. Tammy Oluyori unpack why greater self-awareness can sometimes feel like things are getting worse—when in reality, it’s a sign of progress.

They explore how awareness magnifies what’s already there, why stories we tell ourselves can intensify pain, and how noticing unhealthy patterns is the first step to real change.
