How Relationship Betrayal Trauma Therapy Works
Your life doesn’t look the way you want it to.
Relationship Betrayal Trauma Therapy offers a safe and supportive environment where individuals can process and understand their traumatic experiences. In the initial phase, we focus on establishing trust between the therapist and client, recognizing that betrayal can severely impact one's ability to trust others.
I employ techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that arise from the betrayal. This includes addressing self-blame, shame, and worthlessness. Additionally, Trauma-Focused therapies, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), are used to help clients process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact.
In the next phase, the therapy shifts to rebuilding the client’s sense of self and ability to trust others. This often involves:
Exploring and strengthening personal boundaries.
Developing healthier relationship patterns.
Learning effective communication skills.
We will also work to help you reconnect with your own values and goals, fostering a renewed sense of purpose and self-worth.
