The power of healing in community
What To Bring:
Yoga mat or towel
Journal and pen
Blanket, pillow, or other yoga props for support and comfort.

This series is ideal for anyone seeking emotional balance, personal growth, and a gentle path to Self-discovery and acceptance.

Because of the nature of this work, these classes are not recommended for individuals who experience frequent dissociation or have significant challenges with emotional regulation in group settings.

What is Betrayal Trauma?

Betrayal trauma happens when someone you deeply depend on — emotionally, physically, or even spiritually — violates your trust in a significant way. This might come in the form of infidelity, emotional manipulation, secrets, or broken promises.

But it’s more than “just” a broken heart. It’s disorienting. Often, women question their own judgment, worth, or even reality.

“How did I not see this coming?”
“Was I not enough?”
“Why can’t I just move on?”

These questions aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs that something real and painful has happened — and your body, mind, and heart are trying to make sense of it.

Betrayal trauma is a wound that cuts deep. And if you've felt it, you know — it's not just about what someone did. It’s about the shattering of something you believed was safe, honest, or sacred. For many women, especially in intimate relationships, betrayal trauma hits at the core of who they are and how they see themselves.

Have you experienced betrayal trauma? Are you struggling to trust yourself? To trust others? H.E.a.R.T. might be for you. We've created this group to help and support women to move through the trauma and have opportunities to connect with other women who share your experience.

Want to learn more or register for one of the three groups we have coming up? Click below, or reach out directly at hello@wacs.ca.

A women's group focused on healing - possible no matter what happens to the relationship - and the support of the group process offers the opportunity to find balm for a broken heart.

Let’s face it: relationships are hard. You start with sparks, shared playlists, and synchronized coffee orders—and somehow end up arguing about how the dishwasher should be loaded. (Forks up? Forks down? Does it matter? Apparently, yes.)If you’ve ever watched the show Couples Therapy (the Show...

This is an issue that we face All. The. Time. “Narcissist” and “Classic Narcissist” are the current mental health buzzwords. People who have no professional expertise at all are diagnosing partners, family members, their children (other people’s children😳), and politicians they have never met with “narcissicism.”

The reality is, we can all be self-centered on occasion, and as Jimmy points out, problematic behaviour can have a variety of possible sources, one of which (though much more rarely than the current fad would suggest) may be Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
