When Your Spouse's Trauma Shows Up in Infidelity

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.
