In this heartfelt episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with Mr. Jay, a Certified Betrayal Trauma Practitioner and Interpersonal Relationship Coach. Their conversation explores how healing from betrayal trauma can begin through emotional honesty, journaling, and the recognition that our stories do not define our worth.

Mr. Jay shares his personal motivation for writing a children’s book, I Am Loved Right Where I Am, reminding kids that they are lovable just as they are. He also discusses his 90-day journal, From Tears to Transformation, designed to help people move through emotional pain by writing daily and reconnecting with their truth.

Together, they unpack what betrayal really means—how shame, self-blame, and isolation often follow—and why reclaiming trust in ourselves is the first step toward healing. Mr. Jay’s insights include the powerful reminder that we are not defined by our past, and we can choose to write our own script moving forward.

Betsy deeply connected with Mr. Jay’s view that honoring emotions is strength, not weakness. She shared how painful it was when others told her and her son Josh to “just be strong.” Mr. Jay offered a transformative alternative: teaching his son to be strong in feeling his emotions—not hiding from them. Betsy wholeheartedly agreed with that truth.
