Schedule a free consultation ⟶

This short-term, virtual, psychoeducational group is designed to help men recovering from sexual addiction, infidelity and/or compulsive sexual behavior better understand the impact that betrayal trauma has on their partners. This workshop is for men who are committed to repairing their marriage and rebuilding trust.

Betrayal trauma is a complex, multi-dimensional trauma.  Most men are overwhelmed and at a loss on how to manage their partner’s trauma and emotional turmoil that ensues in the aftermath of discovery.  The workshop will give men a deeper understanding of the impact on their partners and will provide tools and tips that will help pave the road to healing and repair.

The group will be interactive with reflective exercises. Members will walk away with a deeper understanding of their partner’s experience and new skills to practice to help their partners heal.  

During this 7-week group, members will:

  • Gain an understanding of what complex betrayal is, why it’s considered complex and the impact on partners’ nervous systems.​​
  • Learn about the different types of Gaslighting and its impact on partners.​
  • Explore the definition of cheating and “reframing the definition” especially in the aftermath of betrayal.​
  • Learn the pitfalls that make an inflammatory situation worse.​
  • Develop a greater understanding of your partner’s experience to cultivate empathy.
  • Learn how to navigate triggers through empathic, productive communication.
  • Understand the “Anatomy of Earned Trust” and how to implement a plan. ​

Client testimonials

"The short-term men’s group focused on helping men better understand partner trauma was eye opening since I got to hear the ramifications and experience of my actions on my wife through another woman's voice. It was not just informative but my other senses like hearing and seeing were open for me to experience the information and not just process it intellectually. I felt through the many points raised by Jennifer. I did not have defenses that I would otherwise have when told by my wife or even through couple's therapy. That together with a supportive group allowed for a certain leap in my recovery that I have struggled to achieve. My recovery has mostly been focused on myself and had lacked intention of having others on my mind."
