Red paper heart torn in two. Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group for Women | McKinney TX

Who This Group Is For

This group is for women who are experiencing or recovering from:

  • Infidelity or affairs
  • Emotional affairs
  • Pornography or sex addiction betrayal
  • Broken trust within marriage or long-term relationships
  • Separation while deciding what comes next
  • The overwhelming emotional aftermath of betrayal

Whether you are staying in the relationship, considering separation, or rebuilding your life independently, this group is designed to support your healing, not tell you what decision to make.

What You'll Gain

Throughout this group, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand betrayal trauma and why it affects you so deeply
  • Regulate overwhelming emotions such as anxiety, anger, grief, and shame
  • Rebuild your confidence and sense of self
  • Establish healthy boundaries
  • Reduce isolation by connecting with women who truly understand
  • Develop healthy coping skills for healing and resilience
  • Begin trusting yourself again

What to Expect

Each week combines psychoeducation, guided discussion, reflection activities, and practical tools you can begin using immediately. Together, we'll create a compassionate space where healing can begin one step at a time.

Our facilitators understand that betrayal impacts every area of life: emotionally, physically, spiritually, and relationally. Healing isn't about 'getting over it.' It's about rebuilding yourself from the inside out.

What to Expect in a Group Session

The First Session

The first session is intentionally gentle. You are not expected to share your deepest story right away. We walk through introductions, group agreements, and expectations, and give you space to observe, listen, and ease in. Most people leave surprised that it didn't feel as intimidating as they expected.

A Typical Session

Sessions usually begin with a check-in, move into the focus or theme of the week, and end with reflection or grounding. You can expect 60 to 90 minutes of guided conversation, shared experiences, and facilitator support to keep things grounded and safe.

Group Size

Groups are intentionally small, typically 6 to 10 members, so that everyone has space to be heard without feeling lost in the room.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is essential. What is shared in group stays in group. Every member agrees to this before joining so trust can actually exist.

FAQS

Questions You Might Be Carrying

A few things people often wonder before reaching out.
How is group therapy different from individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a one-on-one space to explore your inner world. Group therapy adds something powerful: other people. You learn not only from the therapist, but from shared experience, feedback, and connection.
What if I'm too shy or anxious to talk in a group?
That's completely okay. You are never forced to share. Many people start by listening first, and participation grows naturally over time.
Is what I share in group confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a core agreement of group therapy. What happens in group stays in group, and every member agrees to it before joining.
Can I do individual and group therapy at the same time?
Yes. In fact, many people find the combination helpful: individual therapy for depth, and group therapy for practice and connection.
What if I don't click with the group?
That's a valid concern. We complete an initial meeting before you join to make sure the group is the right fit for you.
