    For twenty years I've sat with couples after betrayal, and there might be no deeper, more complex pain. The question I hear most is: shouldn't they fix this, since they caused it? I wish they could. But if someone rear-ends you and you get whiplash, they can't go to physical therapy for you. Your partner has their own repair to do, and they can support you, but your healing is yours. I made this course so you don't have to wait on anyone to start. It's what I walk people through in my office, and I shoot straight with you, because I don't want you to stay stuck where you are right now.

    Brannon Patrick, LCSW

    • Understanding betrayal trauma: why betrayal hits you on so many levels at once, the fear cycle, and why control keeps you stuck.
    • Getting out of harm's way: what to do, and what not to do, in the first minutes, hours and days, and how to create safety for yourself.
    • Building the scaffolding: self-care, boundaries and safe people, the structure that holds you up while you heal.
    • Processing grief: why the only way past the pain is through it, with letters and exercises that help you feel it instead of fighting it.
    • Finding hope again and moving forward: consistency and courage for the days that are hard.
    • Finding purpose in the pain: growth, gratitude, and accepting the outcomes you can't control.

    • For a partner who is struggling after betrayal trauma
    • For somebody who feels shattered, hurt, not knowing if they can trust again, wondering if there is hope to heal themselves and the relationship
    • For somebody who wants clear guidance and direction to move forward after something that is so painful

    This course is not a replacement for therapy.

    • Nineteen video lessons from Brannon, about 4.5 hours
    • Seventeen worksheets, all custom designed for you
    • The slides from the lessons, as a PDF
    • English captions on every lesson
    • Watch in your own time, on any device, and keep it
    I think your blunt honesty is perfect. People are here to get educated and to have tools to get through the trauma, the healing, there is no point in sugar coating it [...] Taking the course this first time and refreshing this time is very empowering and gives me a boost of confidence that I did and can do hard things.

    What listeners and readers say

    I just listened to the episode on objectifying that woman-and Oh. My. Goodness. Brannon gave me a total core-shaking smackdown when he talked about the betrayed objectifying others via comparison-that other women don't become daughters of God, but become the embodiments everything the betrayed feels she isn't- 😳 What a wake up call! I am so grateful for your podcasts! They have been more helpful than I can even express. Thank you for being brave!

    No one ever talks about betrayal trauma like you do. I was doing this in my previous relationship and he walked out because he couldnt take it anymore he complete ignored me whilst he was the reason i was going thru this and he labeled me as being "crazy". Im so relieved to listen to your video and be able to tell myself that evsrything i was going thru was related to betrayal trauma i never knew there was such thing

    Genuine, vulnerable, and practical discussions that call you to action wherever you're at in this process. This resource has given me permission to accept where my husband is at within his own journey, as well as, myself and where I'm at, without judgement.
