✨ Untie Yourself from the Past
"Letting go is not about forgetting, it's about untying yourself from the chains of past pain."

True healing is an act of self-kindness. It isn’t about erasing your history or pretending the betrayal didn't happen; it’s about ensuring that those past wounds no longer dictate your future or hold your joy captive.

At A Circle of Joy, we understand that moving through the stages of grief and betrayal trauma requires a guide who knows the way out of the jungle. Whether you are looking for the support of sisters in a small group or one-on-one coaching, our team—including Jodi, Catherine, and Marsha—is here to help you reestablish your sense of safety and worth.

You deserve to live a life defined by peace, not by the chains of what was.

Healing is often a quiet, lonely road. There are no trophies for the difficult boundaries you set or the tears you cry while doing the hard work of recovery. But as this quote reminds us, the peace you build today becomes the foundation for your children and their children. Your legacy is the cycle of trauma that stops with you.

You are doing the work that matters most, but you don't have to do it without support. We are here to help you navigate this journey and find the strength to build that lasting peace.

🛑 Why Couples Therapy Fails in Secrecy https://www.betrayaltraumatohealingandjoy.com/helping-resources/blog/307-why-couples-therapy-doesnt-work-before-discovery
Your intuition wasn’t "overreacting"—it was a warning.

Couples therapy cannot work when one partner is living in truth and the other is living in secrecy. When a husband enters therapy while hiding s*xual behaviors (p**n, affairs, or emotional entanglements), he shows up to protect his image, not the marriage.

The result? The wife often leaves the session feeling invalidated, blamed, and more traumatized than when she walked in.

Individual Work is the Priority
Two unhealed individuals cannot build a healed marriage. Before sitting in a room together:

The Wife needs a safe space to stabilize and process her reality.

The Husband needs a foundation of recovery, accountability, and total truth.

Healing starts with finding a community that understands your reality.

Couples therapy fails when one partner is hiding secrets. Learn why hidden addiction or affairs make marital counseling re-traumatizing for the wife and why individual recovery must precede joint therapy.

🏗️ Build the New, Don't Just Fight the Old
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new."

Stop exhausting yourself by replaying past mistakes or struggling against who you used to be. Real transformation happens when you redirect that energy toward building the man she needs you to be today. It’s about developing new skills, practicing deep empathy, and laying a new foundation of trust. The "old you" doesn't have to define your future—the "new you" starts with the intentional choices you make right now.

Healing isn't just about moving past the pain; it's about waking up to the truth of who you are. As you begin to recognize your inherent value, your tolerance for being mistreated or undervalued naturally shifts. This isn't about being "difficult"—it's about being authentic to the person you are becoming.

We are here to help you grow the empowering new skills you need to stay grounded in your worth and build a life that reflects it.

If the festive lights feel blinding and the forced joy is exhausting, you are not alone. 💔 This season, the pressure to "be happy" while grieving the loss of your marriage (as you knew it) is immense.

It's okay to:

Skip a tradition that feels tainted.

Set a boundary with family.

Feel the grief, even during a celebration.

Your healing is your priority. If your partner is struggling to understand your trauma responses, a crucial shift needs to happen on their end. They need to learn empathy.
