There are many trauma theorists who believe that partner betrayal is perhaps the most devastating trauma that one can experience because it has occurred with the person that you always believed you could count on for your emotional, physical, and spiritual safety. Finding out that your husband had a double life makes you doubt everything about your relationship, which in turn can make you doubt yourself. It can leave you so dazed that you wonder if anything in your life or in the world is real This workbook was written to assist partners in finding themselves again after their relationship has been shattered by sexual betrayal. Bestselling author, Carol Juergensen Sheets, co-wrote this book with Christine Turo-Shields to help partners move through the 3 stages of partner betrayal. The workbook assists you in finding safety and stabilization by working through your feelings of confusion, disorientation and self-doubt which is a natural by-product of deception. The book provides exercises to do the hard work of facing your anger, grief, and mourning for what you thought you had, what you didn't have and what you fear you will never have again The last section of the workbook is dedicated to posttraumatic growth and is specifically designed to get you to think about your new sense of self and how you can find new meaning and purpose in your life separate from him and the ordeal that you just experienced. You will feel a new strength and will likely want to actualize it and your potential in new and different ways. This workbook is a road map for self-discovery and Carol and Christine are here to help you every step of the way
