Why should I get therapy when my partner is the one who broke the trust?

Betrayal trauma is the emotional fallout and shattered trust from a partner’s problematic or secretive sexual behaviors.

You may be feeling guilt or shame around your partner’s actions, or around your own decisions. While in the beginning you may be working to manage triggers and get through an hour at a time, you’ll reach the point where you’re ready to connect to yourself from a place of stability and empowerment.

We work from a Prodependence model, meaning you won’t be judged, blamed, or shamed for things you’ve done in an attempt to save your relationship. We’ll support you in reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have felt damaged or lost, as you make important decisions about your future. Whether you’re still in the relationship, have transitioned out, or remain undecided, you deserve a chance to heal!

Betrayal trauma recovery can help you:

  • Process your feelings

  • Identify and manage triggers

  • Set boundaries for emotional safety

  • Receive support from others

  • Get out of the policing role

  • Identify your partner’s level of commitment

  • Regain trust in yourself as you work through your healing

  • Make important decisions about your future and relationships
