Power is part of every relationship, but after betrayal, it moves to the center of the healing process. In this episode, we explore how secrecy, manipulation, and deception create a painful power imbalance, why betrayed partners naturally need to reclaim their power, and why that step is both healthy and necessary. We also discuss the delicate transition from restoring power to sharing it again. While recovering partners don't get to decide when that shift happens, lasting healing eventually requires both partners to move toward a relationship built on mutual dignity, safety, and shared partnership. __________________________________ <...
