Introduction to a Special Episode
Anne: We have a special episode today. Three victims of betrayal trauma are sharing about their experience in Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group Sessions. If you’re interested in learning more or seeing our group session schedule go to btr.org/group.
All right, ladies, take it away.
Personal Experiences with Betrayal Trauma
Betrayal Trauma Victim #1: I really appreciate how you validated everybody, first by listening to them, and then by encouraging them in their own insights and giving them, you know, advice.
permission to do and be whatever they needed to at that moment. I have not experienced that with counseling, though I’ve been through a lot. Yeah, it’s been a trial. And so I recognize the uniqueness of it and it’s just amazing.
Betrayal Trauma Victim #2: Betrayal trauma recovery has been life changing for me. I’ve been able to share my feelings.
I’ve been able to share my story.
The Impact of Group Sessions
Betrayal Trauma Victim #2: I’ve had not only the coaches help through guiding my own path because the coaches don’t tell me how to choose to live or choose to recover or how to grow but the fact that I’m able to hear other stories is amazing. I don’t feel alone.
The Knowledge of what other women have gone through. I feel like that has taught me to grow because it doesn’t have to be the same scenario. It’s just knowing what they’ve done at different chapters of my recovery has allowed me to make my decisions. I look forward to it every time I’m on here.
I find it to be very affordable.
Challenges and Misconceptions
Betrayal Trauma Victim #2: And actually my counselor pissed me off one day. He had said, well, you know, women’s groups, they like to tell each other what to do. And that leads to divorce. And I was just like, that’s not true. You guys definitely don’t lead us to make decisions that would cause anyone to choose divorce.
That’s a huge thing for me because I’ve heard other places or counselors do that. I definitely recommend BTR to everyone.
Betrayal Trauma Victim #3: My husband was in recovery and having. All of these meetings each week and counseling. And I felt like I was being left out in the dark. I was at the end of my rope.
So I started searching for something to help me. I found BTR. I decided that’s what would be best for me. So I started attending the group.
The Value of Support and Growth
Betrayal Trauma Victim #3: I have found that having this group has been the best thing that ever happened to me. It has taught me what self care means. It’s taught me a lot of things about gaslighting and DARVO and things I’d never heard of before.
They’ve helped me through a lot of really hard situations. The group has been so supportive. The women are amazing. Everyone has their own story to tell, but each person gets validation and support that they need and feedback from the coaches as well as each other. It’s been great to know that I’m not alone in this, that there’s other women who have struggled the same as I have, and that I can be there to support them, and they can be there to support me.
This group, I lean on it a lot. When I’m going through hard times and I don’t understand everything that’s happening with my addict, they help clarify situations for me, and give me options how I can handle it. They also give me a place to share, and I feel like it’s safe, and I’m not being judged, and I just, I want to let others know how wonderful the BTR group has been for me, and I would recommend it for anyone who’s going through betrayal trauma so they can learn and grow.
I feel like I’ve learned and grown from the first time I started attending to this day I’ve learned self worth I’ve learned what self care is.
Things that I didn’t even understand when I first started this group. So I just want to thank all the coaches, everyone, they’re all wonderful ladies.
No one seems to care. My soon to be ex had his friend rape me. Not even my attorney is addressing the issue.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this! You’re right. No one gets it. That’s why we’re here. Coach Renee helps women who have experienced crime, perhaps consider scheduling a session with her.
