Greetings!
Welcome to the September 2015 Newsletter! Our subject this month is Recovery From Betrayal. We hope you find our blogs helpful. Please write, tweet or like us if you'd like to connect.
I visited Philadelphia this month to attend the EMDRIA Annual Conference. I learned more skills and techniques to support those healing from trauma. Betrayal is a trauma. It strikes a core that feels like you can never come back. There is hope. EMDR is a treatment I utilize with many clients to support their recovery.
Our theme for October 2015 is Learning How to Manage Anxiety; Don't Let it Run Your Life.
Sincerely,
Elana & The RHN Team

Recovering From Betrayal: Reclaim Your Life
While betrayal is a word that conveys a lot of drama, it can really just be a violation of trust in a relationship. People may betray willingly or unwillingly. One of the trends that I have noticed in the couples that I counsel is that either member of a couple may not always aware of the unspoken rules of their partner. This leads to a perceived betrayal by a partner due to lack of commination about the parameters of their relationship. There are other couple who have had much discussion about rules in a relationship, who have even drawn up contracts, but the rules of the relationship are so complicated that neither party is really sure is a betrayal has occurred or not. Then there are the more straightforward betrayals of lying, stealing, and "cheating".

What do you do? Do you stay with him/her? What about all the years you've invested? The kids? The finances? The friendship? The sanctity of marriage? Can you move past this? If you think there is a chance, that it's worth it to try and move forward with the relationship, here are a few steps to help make your healing process successful:

Recovering From Betrayal: The 35 Part Series
I jest, but 35 installments might give us a good start on talking about a very, very complex topic. To be clear, I'm talking specifically about betrayals of trust in love relationships - one person breaking implicit or explicit commitments they've made to their partner related to emotional or sexual boundaries. Because of our clinical focus at Recovery Help Now, the most common betrayal milieu I treat is the case where a sex addict's acting out behavior is discovered by his or her partner. This can happen between men loving men, women loving women, non-dyadic relationships .....
