As a survivor of betrayal, infidelity, trauma, and emotional abuse, I Chose In to doing the hard work necessary to see through the manipulation, deceit, and lies that came from being the spouse of an addict. I had to accept that this was my life. The only way to heal was to go through the pain, to see it clear, and work through it. Today, I help others find their way from feeling shattered and hopeless to strong and empowered. You are not alone. You are not the only one that is experiencing these types of things. There is absolutely healing and happiness ahead IF you do what is required to get there. I am the Author of Cutting Ties - Healing from Betrayal Trauma as the Spouse of an Addict. As you read it, you will find I don’t shy away from the real, raw, painful truth. My podcast is no different. We can only become something more if we see the truth with clear eyes and be willing to “CHOOSE IN” to doing the hard work. I’m excited to share everything I know with all of you.
- Roxanne Kennedy Granata

Episode 70: Partswork and How it Helps Your Healing
Learning how to notice what parts of us are wounded and how to heal the past can be done with Partswork (AKA IFS-Internal Family Systems) I walk you through exactly what that looks like, why it works, and how to stay neutral when it comes to dealing with the opposition that for sure shows up in our lives on a regular basis.

Roxanne shares the raw, unfiltered truth of her experience as the spouse of addict. She is vulnerable and direct. Her experience has helped me see why the path to my healing requires me to look at the real truth about myself even when it feels uncomfortable, even painful. I thought I could run from my pain, but she has shown me a much better path to real healing with God.
I read her book and I cried many times while reading it. I felt so validated as I was in the thick of betrayal trauma myself. It gave me hope. It gave me strength. I’m now looking forward to hearing more from Roxanne in her podcast!
Love a down to earth “truth-teller” who also exudes joy and shines hope into dark situations. Roxanne seems to know the meaning of happiness because she has also known the meaning of pain.
