Betrayed: How to Heal from Sexual, Emotional, or Financial Betrayal by a Partner (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781648488528)

How do you heal the trauma of betrayal, rebuild safety, and restore trust when your world is turned upside down?

When betrayal shatters the foundation of a relationship--whether sexual, emotional, financial, or spiritual--it can leave deep wounds that shake your sense of safety and self. Betrayed helps you understand betrayal not as a personal failure, but as an attachment injury--one that can be acknowledged, grieved, and ultimately healed.

Drawing from emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and the psychobiological approach to couple therapy (PACT), betrayal recovery expert Jake Porter offers a compassionate, step-by-step approach to recovery. You'll gain a better understanding of the neurobiological and emotional aspects and effects of betrayal, and find practical skills to help you build resilience, reclaim your self-worth, and connect with others again.

With this compassionate guide, you will learn to:

• Set clear, healthy boundaries and reestablish personal safety
• Process grief and loss while moving toward post-traumatic growth
• Develop empathy, emotional awareness, and self-compassion
• Rebuild trust--within yourself and, if desired, within your relationship

Whether you're rebuilding your relationship or just working on rebuilding yourself, this book provides the tools, hope, and guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
