Additional support

With betrayal, you may believe that nothing that you experienced with your significant other was real. You experience an out-of-the-blue grief response to the sudden loss of what you thought was your life. At some point, you need to mourn the relationship you thought you had. Reactions such as anger, sadness, numbness, or craving to go out and cheat yourself show the humongous loss. The betrayal wound causes you to no longer trust your significant other and yourself.

You have many questions: Was my relationship with the one who betrayed me an illusion? What's my sense of reality that I did not see the dual life of the one who betrayed me sooner? How could I have entrusted myself and my family to a person I did not know? With this course, you will get information that allows you to answer your questions.

The activities of this class can be done at home, in the office, or whenever you have a spare moment to deal with the complex situation of betrayal and its fallout. Rest assured that betrayal trauma is not your fault.

I look forward to seeing you in the course,

Sibylle
