Regular Pricing: $475 After working with hundreds of couples

facing betrayal, I have created a structured phased approach to helping clients who are ambivalent about staying, cannot heal or forgive, navigate through

the rocky landscape of recovery. Guiding couples through recovery may be the

biggest challenge a couples’ therapist can face.  They come to us traumatized,

angry, hurt, hopeless and desperate for professional guidance.  Real case studies

will be presented along with input and feedback from my past clients who are

now on the other side of recovery.

This program is based on my training with Esther Perel, John and Julie Gottman,

Susan Johnson, Dick Schwartz (IFS) and

In this 2-day workshop you will learn how to:

betrayed’s rage §  Gain the trust of both

§  Help both partners make sense of the

central question, “Why?”§  Use IFS to treat PTSD

symptoms that haunt the betrayed partner

§  Manage painful daily triggers through trust building techniques

§  Help the Unfaithful Partner unpack and heal
