    15 months post d-day and I’m still so traumatized. I can’t look at him the same. I was suicidal at one point sitting under the xmass tree with a belt looked around my neck getting ready to attach it to the pull up bar. My children are the only thing that saved me. I couldn’t do it to them.

      Your partner betrayal trauma is real and I'm sad to hear that you are struggling so hard with these mixed emotions.
      If you haven't already, I would recommend seeing a local doctor and having a suicide hotline number available to address and prevent any suicidal tendencies.
      Regarding the partner betrayal trauma, you can make an appointment with one of our certified therapists here who will walk with you through the process toward healing. Call us at 719-278-3708 to get started and consider joining one of our support groups as well.
      For helpful materials, check out the Partner Betrayal Trauma book or DVD and workbook. These will provide validation and guidance on this matter as well.

    Every time I check on him, he does not disappoint. He forgot to mention before we got married that he’s bisexual. His affairs have been with men. 22 years of my life gone. Just like that.
    And the kicker? He doesn’t want to divorce. Are you kidding me? What about what I wanted?

    Betrayal trauma i have experience it many times by different people. In fact in every facet from friendships to brother sister and father and mothe. I must be a really strong person in Jesus Christ name. A few minutes ago while crying something released from the middle of my skull and then I felt a coolness. To me is that i found the theme through my whole life story. Betrayal trauma. Soul work are you doing it? Does God answers you like he answers me. Last barrier before paradise. I believe it also affected my weight loss and gain. It made it hard to lose. This psychosomatic energy stored in my cell is a blueprint on how to attack not only the weight loss but the rudimentary things that got me there. This journey is going to be epic. Last battle ground before we go to war

    • @DrDougWeiss
      @DrDougWeiss  Месяц назад +2

      Your pain and trauma are real and it hurts my heart to know that you've experienced this. Cheating is not a rational decision ever. It can stem from unmet needs, emotional immaturity issues, and other shortcomings that the person has. It's important to remember that the decision to cheat is solely the responsibility of the person who commits the act, not the partner. He would do well to find out why he chose this behavior.
      If you need help and support, call our office at 719-278-3708. Our certified therapists are trained in partner betrayal trauma, along with sex addiction and infidelity issues. You can start getting healing for yourself, and your husband can start the recovery process if he is willing. Our wide range of services includes individual sessions, couples therapy, support groups, and an intensive program created to expedite the counseling process in a short period. You are not alone in this.

    Yes, I do deserve to heal, but because everything cost money I can’t. It’s been almost 3 years. More damage was done by an incompetent psychotherapist also here in the same town where you are at, she emboldened him to make him feel like a victim, and even to this day, I am dealing with it. It is the most awful thing I’ve ever experienced and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.I do wish you had some kind of affordability though because I would like to feel like myself again. This man has caused me everything mentally emotionally and financially too, so I can’t even get healing from what he did to me.

    It’s hard to know if I should break up with my boyfriend. We’ve been together for over a year and he told me about his addiction which involved betraying me. He’s now in therapy and has been very open to change and growth but it’s long distance and before this he was set to move in with me at the end of next month. I don’t know if it’s wrong to leave or if after everything I should just end the relationship. I kind of wish he was a horrible person who won’t admit to his fault, but he’s taking responsibility, going to SAA and therapy. I feel stuck.

    • @DrDougWeiss
      @DrDougWeiss  4 месяца назад

      I understand that this is a difficult decision to make. It's good to hear that he is getting help with his addiction and trying to be more open with you. In recovery, it is important to believe behavior.
      Regardless, it is clear that what he did still caused you pain and your partner betrayal trauma from it is valid.
      I would suggest getting healing and support for yourself so that you can have someone to help you through this and provide guidance on the matter. Ultimately, the choice is yours on whether you want to stay or not.

    We need to make people less fragile. Nearly 70% of people will experience some form of infidelity in their life and not 70% of the population is traumatized. What makes a small fraction of the population traumatized by infidelity? What makes one partner throw all their self-esteem and self-worth into something that is more likely to fail than succeed? We have to address how we raise people as a society because that's just asking for trouble...

      Glad to know you live everyone’s experiences and have put so much effort into empathy, understanding and truly learning how to put yourself into someone else’s shoes….NOT! We are all wired differently yet made in His image. 🤔 Interesting. No one wants to feel like crap or have their internal chemistry destroy their sense of being. No one signs up for this for pity or to be made to feel like a bigger fool by others who mock and judge them. No one is taught how to cope with this anymore than if they were told they have a terminal disease! It costs NOTHING to be kind but can cost someone their life to be cruel!

      @@danadecore6872 I am not sure I understand what you mean bu we in HIS image. Can you explain. But also, you missed the point entirely of my post. My post wasn't about dealing with the current small segment of the population traumatized by this but rather, try to prevent this from happening in the first place. If you suffer from this kind of trauma, wouldn't you want your daughter to be immuned from this pain when it happens to her? 70 percent of the population will experience infidelity in their life. Those are statistics. So you already know it will happen. Don't you want to prevent pain? There's a concept in business called Anti-Fragility. It's meant for teams to reduce the risks of failures. But I have found that if i apply these same concepts to myself, I have become MUCH less susceptible to the whims of emotions and experience little to no emotional distress. I still suffer from things like anger and sadness but to a MUCH lesser degree. I am sorry my post triggered you so much but it was about future generations and how to teach our kids, not how to resolve problems of the people today. Although come to think of it, it might help. To treat something, we must get to the root cause. Why would one person be susceptible to trauma and not another under the same condition? Then and only then can you treat it. It's always the same with the human body. That's how medical research is done!
