Understanding Betrayal Trauma & Affair Recovery

A psychoeducation course for betrayed partners, unfaithful partners, and couples navigating infidelity

Infidelity produces a specific kind of trauma. The person who was supposed to be your safest relationship became the source of your deepest injury. This course explains what betrayal trauma is, why your brain and body respond the way they do, what recovery looks like, and what both partners need to do for healing to happen.

Written for three audiences: the betrayed partner processing trauma, the unfaithful partner working toward accountability, and couples navigating recovery together. Each module is marked so you know which perspective it addresses.
