We have come a long way in the development of treatment for couples experiencing distress from the discovery of sexual addiction and chronic betrayal. The number of resources is growing, as is the number of helping professionals who are trained to deal with these painful issues.

Standard practice now tells us that after discovery comes disclosure, when the betraying partner gives the betrayed partner a carefully written full account of what happened. 

But then what?

In my exposure to hundreds of couples in the recovery process over the last several years, I've seen how crucial the period after disclosure can be for the relationship. Far too many couples get through disclosure and go on to individually find healing and recovery, yet after another few years end up parting ways.

Why? 

Why after all that work, even after individual change and healing, would a marriage not make it?

I'm convinced the reason is because the couple has not grieved together.

After the disclosure of sexual addiction or chronic betrayal, clients begin to move into the “Grief Phase,” in which they face more fully the losses brought on by the consequences of sexual addiction or chronic betrayal. In this phase, the task of rebuilding trust is essential to the survival of the relationship. This webinar proposes that by joining the grief experiences of the addicted and betrayed partners so that they face their individual and shared losses together, deeper, more meaningful trust can be rebuilt in an accelerated way.

By harnessing the power of grief to promote positive personal growth, couples can transform old relational dynamics and establish new, safe, and loving ways of being together.

The Couple–Centered Recovery® Model helps clients come together in their grief. Grief is where the healing happens, where change takes place. Couples who want to stay together must grieve together. 

Join me in this educational webinar for clients, coaches, and clinicians as we explore the power of grieving together.
