Group therapy has many unique benefits and therapeutic potential to aid the healing of those suffering from betrayal trauma, including:
- Shared Support and Understanding - in a group of other women who've been betrayed, you will experience empathy, joining, and compassion for what you're going through
- Diverse Perspectives - part of the magic of group therapy is that while one person is doing her work, the other members of group are healing right alongside her.
- Gaining Skills - group therapy provides an opportunity to learn new skills for relating to yourself and others (including your addicted loved one), using the group to practice and grow
- Feedback and Learning - as you engage in your own healing, you will receive and give feedback to others, allowing you to internalize changes in a deeper way
- Normalization of Struggles - you will come to understand that your the pain and challenges you are experiencing after betrayal are normal responses to trauma. Other betrayed partners are experiencing similar struggles in their own lives. You are not alone and your sense of belonging will help your healing journey.
- Accountability and Motivation - As you see your fellow group members grow, you will be inspired to make some changes in your own life that will promote your healing.
- Cost-Effective - group therapy offers the best and most effective therapeutic value for the money you will spend. Not only will you experience direct results from your own work, you will also be growing and healing as you partner with group members in their journeys.
- Empowerment, Clarity, and Confidence: As you share your experiences and contribute to the group work, you will experience a sense of empowerment, clarity, and confidence. Expressing yourself and receiving positive feedback from others can enhance your self-esteem and belief in your ability to make positive changes. This is especially important as you make decisions about your recovery journey and your relationship with your addicted loved one.
