Victims might not be aware that most books about betrayal trauma contain victim-blaming, misogynistic content that can be more traumatizing than useful.

I’d read so many books that left me confused. Why are helpful books about betrayal trauma so difficult to find! This list helped me so much!

After I read a bunch of books, I decided it was time to attend a BTR.ORG Group Session. It was unbelievable how much it carried me from day to day and gave me strength. These are caring articulate women. The format is the most clear, safe, ethically run group I’ve ever seen.

After two and a half years in traditional counseling I didn’t think anyone could help me. Without BTR, I would’ve been stuck in my painful, trauma-filled life indefinitely. Reaching out to BTR was the single most productive act I have ever done for myself, and for my children.

The BTR Coaches made me feel heard for the first time – ever! The understanding that came from a “me too” perspective, revolutionized the way I looked at myself, and the way I looked at the healing process. Anne thought of everything, including an awesome list of books about betrayal trauma that was super helpful

With BTR’s help, I began to feel HOPE! I also enrolled in The BTR.ORG Living Free Workshop. WOW. That’s all I can say. I’m now functioning in a much healthier, freedom-filled life. I can’t thank you enough.
