Recognizing It
You Are Not Overreacting
Your reactions make sense.
What you are feeling makes sense. Treatment helps your nervous system settle so you can make clear decisions about what comes next.
Our betrayal trauma guide for partners explains what many partners experience.
Our Approach
Care that centers you, at your pace.
Your Next Step
You do not need to decide anything to start. Our focus is your safety, clarity and healing.
If your spouse is in treatment, this partner’s guide may help.
Care for Partners
Your care can stand on its own or connect with your partner’s treatment for porn addiction or sex and love addiction.
One to One
Private sessions with a master’s-level clinician, on their own or as part of a program.
When You Are Both Ready
Repair and rebuilding trust, usually after both partners have individual support.

Betrayal trauma is not a separate DSM diagnosis, but the symptoms are well documented and often meet criteria for post traumatic stress: intrusive images, hypervigilance, sleep disruption and difficulty trusting your own perception. It is treated as trauma, not as a relationship problem.
Individual therapy with a clinician trained in betrayal trauma, partner groups, and practical work on boundaries, safety and decision making. You do not have to decide anything about the relationship to start.
Yes, and most people start exactly there. The first work is steadying you, not deciding the relationship. Clarity usually comes after the nervous system settles, not before.
