How to Rebuild Trust After it's Broken | Relationship Theory

The road to recovery once trust has been broken in a relationship can be long and painful for everyone involved. In this episode Tom and Lisa take a look from both sides of the one betrayed and the betrayer. Healing is a process and once that cannot be rushed, but is it more painful for the person who needs to forgive or the person that needs to earn back the trust that has been damaged?

Letting go is easier said than done, and necessary if there is to be any recovery and future there after.
