Surviving to Thriving After Betrayal
An Intimate 7-Day Couples Group Retreat
The discovery of an infidelity is devastating
It’s as if a giant wave has crashed over you.
You aren’t sure which way is up or down. And just as you start to gather your bearings, you get pulled down again.
Even if you manage to weather the initial shock, the struggle to stay afloat until you can find solid ground is exhausting.
With no clear end in sight, it’s hard to imagine feeling safe again.
Sometimes, the loneliness, shame, and isolation can feel worse than the infidelity itself.
It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to do this alone. There is support. There is life after infidelity.

RETREAT DISCLAIMER
This retreat is NOT therapy, nor is it a replacement for therapy. It is for educational purposes only. I am a therapist but attending this retreat is not, and does not create, a therapeutic relationship. I strongly recommend that you participate in therapy before, during, or after you attend the retreat as it will allow you to expand on what you learn here. Therapy allows for deep processing of past experiences that help you move forward in a healthy manner. This retreat is NOT therapy.
Activities
Adventure and relaxation in between all the relationship work you will be doing is exactly the type of bonding experience you need.
