As partners join together to talk about shared experiences, it helps to reduce the shame and pain that comes along with betrayal. The group also focuses on skill building and helpful tools to empower partners to regain control, learn to trust their own intuition and find inner safety. Topics covered include Understanding Complex Trauma, the Different types of Gas Lighting, Utilizing Anger in Productive Ways, Cultivating an authentic self, as examples.
