Healing from Betrayal:

Finding your way out of victimhood

If you know the sting of betrayal then you know the cycle of feeling like a victim who blames her/himself for not knowing. You are familiar with the attempts to discover more information about the betrayal and police your partner’s behavior.

You have tried to stick your head in the sand and pretend it doesn’t matter. You know extreme sadness as well as extreme anger. If you are looking for relief from this cycle, join us weekly for a small, safe, women and men’s group for the partners and spouses of sexually compulsive or addicted people.

It’s not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Goals:

• Grieve losses and look at the costs to you of the betrayal
• Learn to nurture yourself in ways that improve self-esteem
• Deal with denial, anger and resentment
• Set boundaries for the future
• Stop focusing on blame and punishment
• Understand why forgiveness is beneficial to you
• Develop a supportive community of people who have experienced your pain

Criteria for participation:
