How you'll use these videos:
Watch these videos on demand, on your own schedule. You can pause, replay, and return to them as often as you need throughout your healing process.
Whenever possible, we encourage couples to watch the videos together. This gives you a shared language and helps you begin learning as a team, rather than each person trying to figure everything out alone.
As you watch, remember that the goal is not to master everything immediately. The goal is to slowly build nervous system capacity, relational safety, and the skills needed to heal after rupture.
These videos will help you understand trauma, attachment, safety and stability, grieving the losses in the relationship together, and reconnecting with yourselves, each other, and the world on a new path of growth.
You may want to revisit certain videos at different points in your journey. What feels helpful early on may land even more deeply later, as your capacity grows and your relationship has more safety to hold it.
This is supportive, couple-centered education created specifically for relationships impacted by betrayal, deception, and rupture, gathered in one place to help you move through the process with more clarity, structure, care, and direction.
This is what you get with the Daring Ventures Webinar Library

Organized into seven pivotal milestones, this library gives you and your partner the shared education most couples never get, so you can stop guessing and start healing together. Watch separately, or even better, together. Start unraveling the chaos of deception, betrayal, and disconnection and begin building something new today, together.

The Education other professional helpers didn't have time to give you: Dr. Jake explains in practical terms, what we experience, and how to move through to new levels of safety, healing and reconnection. Drawing from the latest research in:
Attachment theory: “How do I seek safety when love feels threatened?”
Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT: “What is the tender emotion underneath the fight?”
Developmental neuroscience / interpersonal neurobiology: “What is happening in the brain and body?”
Affect regulation: “Can I stay grounded enough to respond instead of react?”
Co-regulation: “Can we help each other feel safe?”
Betrayal trauma: “What happens when the person who was supposed to be safe becomes the source of danger?”
Performance psychology: “How do I become the kind of person who can act well under pressure?”
Values-based / integrity-based growth: “Who do I want to be, regardless of what I feel right now?”
Communication and empathy skills: “Can I help my partner feel understood before trying to be understood?”
Grief Theory and Meaning-making: “What does this pain mean, and who are we becoming through it?”
CBT, DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, PACT, and related tools:
“How do I change the thoughts, emotions, body reactions, trauma memories, or relationship habits that keep hijacking me?”
