Healing After Betrayal: A Free Course for Betrayed Partners
You're not crazy — you're hurt. And what you're feeling makes complete sense.
A free, self-paced course for the partner of someone with a sex or porn addiction. Trauma-informed, non-shaming, and entirely yours — you don't have to manage anyone, forgive on a schedule, or decide anything on someone else's timeline.

Built by a team that sits with betrayed partners every week.
This course comes out of New Path Family of Therapy Centers, where clinicians who specialize in betrayal trauma and partner recovery do this work day after day. It is the course we wished existed when partners first came to us in the worst days after discovery — written to put your healing, your safety, and your choices first.
Partner-centered This is about you — not about managing, fixing, or waiting on the person who hurt you. Your recovery does not depend on theirs.
Yours, privately Every workbook saves to your own browser — no sign-in, nothing sent anywhere, no one sees what you write.
A 12-module course, in four Parts, for finding solid ground again — at your own pace.
Each module covers one part of the journey: what betrayal trauma actually is, how to stabilize in the first days, why it was never your fault, how to ride triggers, where your anger fits, how to set boundaries that keep you safe, and how to decide — on no one's timeline but yours — what comes next.
Who this is for: anyone who has been betrayed by a partner's sexual behavior — affairs, compulsive porn use, secret double lives, sex or porn addiction. Whether you've just found out or you've been carrying this for years, whether you plan to stay, leave, or don't yet know — you belong here, and you get to take it at your own pace.

What happens inside a module.
Every module follows the same five-step arc. About 20–30 minutes, and you can stop and come back any time.
Wondering if what you're feeling is betrayal trauma?
If the obsessive thoughts, the checking, the swing between rage and numbness feel like too much — that's not you being dramatic or “crazy.” It's a recognizable injury, and there are gentle ways to take stock of where you are.
Take the self-check
A short, private Betrayed Partner Assessment to help you put words to what you're experiencing. No grade, no label — just a clearer picture for yourself.
Talk it through with someone
If you'd rather have a real conversation about support, therapy, or simply where to start, our team is right here — no pressure, no obligation.
You don't have to have decided anything. You don't have to forgive, stay, leave, or have it all figured out. You just have to start where you are.
A self-check is a mirror, not a verdict — it can't diagnose you, and only you decide what it means.

In a crisis or emergency?
If you may harm yourself or someone else, can't stay safe, or a child or someone vulnerable may be in immediate danger, get urgent help now: in the US call 911 for immediate danger, or call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline); in the UK and Ireland call Samaritans on 116 123; elsewhere, use your local emergency number or crisis line. If you're afraid of your partner or being monitored, the US National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233 (or text START to 88788) — reach out from a safe device. S-Anon and COSA are peer fellowships for partners, not crisis services. This course is educational, is not a substitute for care from a professional who knows you, does not create a therapist–client relationship, and is not monitored — no one sees what you write here.
