She has since realized that she and other wives of addicts have truly experienced betrayal trauma.<br> Betrayal Trauma Recovery no longer supports the codependency model because it has been found to cause more harm than good. Betrayal Trauma Recovery strictly uses the trauma model for assisting women who are seeking peace and safety amid the chaos of their reality.<br> Anne continues to utilize the 12-step manual for developing and improving her own relationship with God. Anne now uses the trauma model for her own healing. You can find more about her thoughts on this podcast <a href="https://www.btr.org/problems-with-sex-addiction-model/">here</a>.*** <br> You might be asking, “Why do I need a support group? My husband is the addict, not me.”<br> This question was addressed in more detail in this post <a href="https://www.btr.org/husband-porn-addict/">here</a>.<br> Finding support can be vital to your healing and recovery from the betrayal and abuse. Learning from other women and finding strength and courage in the support from other women, can make a significant difference.<br> Many women find having a support group to be their most valuable tool.<br> Learn how others have found the support and help that some didn’t even know they were seeking from participating in Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group Sessions:<br> Betrayal Trauma Recovery Groups Are Facilitated By A Trained Coach<br> “I worked the ‘Moving Beyond Betrayal’ program with Coach Sarah. This course specifically addresses setting boundaries for partners of sex addicts, but its principles are applicable in all areas of our lives.<br> “An intimate group of amazing women represented different stages of discovery and grief cycles. We came from various backgrounds and bonded together to find solutions to the challenges that women face after the initial shock of disclosure—when we are unable to make sense of reality. <br> “When I recognized that the feelings attached to the experience of trauma are universal in nature, but there are some unique, heightened and very personal pain-points around this particular addiction, I was able to sort out truth from fiction and find coping tools.<br> “Sarah is instinctive and intuitive. She is unafraid to be flexible as the group congeals. This isn’t a cookie-cutter group with an unmovable agenda—there isn’t one way to approach the challenge of boundaries.<br> “Sex addiction is real. Treat yourself to this healing experience. Transcend the past, move past the ‘crazy’ and stand in your own truth in sisterhood.”<br> ********<br> “I just happened to find the BTR podcast in the midst of finding out my spouse had been lying and cheating, again—actually, number 6, that I know of. The deepest, darkest moment of my life. <br> “Words can't express how listening to the podcast truly saved my life and made me feel like there are others out there—I wasn't alone! The words of encouragement, education, support & knowing this situation is for real and I wasn't crazy was so comforting!<br> “After searching the BTR site I noticed services were offered that could help even further. I decided NOW was the time and signed up.<br>
