Finding Self After Betrayal-  Phase One: The Fall Into an Altered Reality

This online workshop takes the betrayed partner through the bizarre world of betrayal where reality and absurdity become intertwined. Finding a way out of this complicated morass takes time. Betrayal is much like Alice’s adventures in wonderland, full of absurdity, contradictions, and an ongoing search to make sense out of the senseless. Using this metaphor, we will travel through the mind-bending experience of betrayal trauma to find a new reality and way to heal. Finding Self After Betrayal is the current three-phase evolution of a body of work developed by Diane Hovey, PhD, LMFT-S, CSAT-S, CPT, spanning more than two decades. Current course contributors Mary McNamara, MA, LPCC, CSAT, and Natalie Giwoyna, MA, have shaped the preparation of this live-course experience, which they also facilitate. To fully benefit from this journey, you must engage in the hands-on work of experiencing your thoughts and feelings, of untangling the bizarre, and creating a new reality that brings you back to yourself and overall health. You must move beyond reading and engage in exercises, sometimes repeatedly, to truly extricate yourself from the rabbit hole of betrayal.
