Welcome to betrayal trauma recovery. I'm Anne. It's summer and I remember being so excited thinking my

marriage would improve as we spent quality time together on that road trip or family reunion. If you end up

having the same experience I did where vacations left me feeling more hopeless and scared because I

found out on one of those trips that my husband was using explicit material and lying to me about it.

We're here for you every day all summer long.

You don't have to schedule an appointment or wait.

You can hop on one of our daily group sessions from anywhere.

We're an empathetic team of betrayal trauma professionals and we can help you right away.

Our daily group session support is the safest space for women to focus on their

healing without fear of being traumatized by a therapist or clergy who might seem to think that

you're part of the problem. You're not and you're not alone. If you're ready to join a community

of women who truly understand, check out our group session schedule at BTR.org slash group.

We'd love to see you today.

the lying and the deception, the gaslighting, and the manipulation. Psychological abuse and

emotional abuse are linked. Both of them happen when your husband is having

affairs or has a secret life, watching pornography, or having relationships outside the marriage.
