Individual Therapy is Often Not Enough for Betrayal Trauma 

Intimate betrayal has been shown to impact us in a uniquely painful way that is different from other types of traumatic experiences. There is a much deeper level of hurt to betrayal that can have lasting effects beyond just posttraumatic stress symptoms. It takes a multifaceted approach to heal from betrayal and although individual therapy can be incredibly beneficial, betrayed partners often need additional support to achieve a deeper level of healing. They can receive this support from betrayal trauma group therapy. 

We are not meant to heal from this type of trauma alone

Research continues to show that good social support can protect us from the negative impact of trauma on our well-being, and receiving the right kind of support can positively influence our trauma recovery.

The very nature of betrayal makes us want to withdraw, isolate, or even shut down. Still, it is difficult to truly heal from the devastating impact of intimate betrayal on our own. Having supportive friends and family can be helpful.

However, often they are unable to offer the type of validation and understanding a hurting partner needs during this difficult time to heal from betrayal.

Pacific Behavioral Healthcare’s betrayal trauma therapy groups provide amazing opportunities for connection and growth. We offer a safe space for you to share, process your feelings, and learn effective coping strategies while receiving support alongside other women who deeply understand. There is healing in getting to know your group members and recognizing that you are not alone in your experience. 

Who Can Benefit from Betrayal Trauma Group Therap

When a partner breaks the commitment to fidelity, it creates a profound sense of betrayal in the relationship.

Healing from trauma is not something you have to face alone.

If you are ready for real support and strategies that make a difference, these are some of the needs group therapy can address:

 

  • Relief from feeling isolated and misunderstood
  • Support for painful triggers, emotions, and beliefs
  • Tools to quiet anxious and obsessive thoughts
  • Freedom from self-blame and shame
  • A kinder, more compassionate inner voice
  • Trauma healing strategies that truly work
  • The ability to calm your mind and find peace
  • Guidance on the mind-body connection and healing practices
  • Encouragement and understanding from other women
  • A sense of connection instead of trying to heal in isolation

BETRAYAL TRAUMA THERAPY WASHINGTON STATE

How is Pacific Behavioral Healthcare Betrayal Trauma Group Different?

Pacific Behavioral Healthcare has been helping partners heal from betrayal trauma for over 10 years. Our betrayal trauma therapy groups are specifically designed with your healing needs in mind. We offer what we have found to be the perfect balance of support and connection, learning, and processing of trauma symptoms for you to truly understand and integrate the material. 

Pacific Behavioral Healthcare has also created a workbook specifically designed to target recovery after betrayal trauma, offering a wealth of knowledge and exercises to support your healing both within and outside the group. Other betrayal trauma therapy groups may be limited in what they can provide in terms of scope, depth, and support. 

Some groups offer support only, without any learning or processing, while others are very structured and unable to allow for cohesive group processing. We have received exceptional feedback from our group members over the years, and know the work we are doing is making a real difference in their lives.

Betrayal Trauma Group Therapy Done Differently

Pacific Behavioral Healthcare has uniquely designed our betrayal trauma therapy groups to offer deeper healing and support through a therapeutic group process. We have identified the critical topics that betrayed partners need to move beyond their trauma, and our groups provide the right balance of supportive connection while learning and processing in a safe space. You will be guided through a deeper level of healing while receiving the full benefits of a group therapy approach. You also benefit from working with an experienced trauma specialist whose expertise is in betrayal.

Betrayal Trauma Therapy Workbook

Our innovative betrayal trauma therapy workbook was uniquely designed to help women process their betrayal experience, work though the different symptoms that arise, practice somatic exercises for mind-body trauma integration, offer reflective exercises on critical healing topics, and provides strategies to help partners move through areas where they often find themselves stuck. All group members will receive a copy to guide their healing process inside and outside of group sessions.
