Support for Truth, Stabilization, and Integration
Trauma-Informed Couple Therapy in Farmington Hills
Available in-person and virtually across Michigan.
After betrayal or chronic deception, reassurance often stops calming the body.
Even honest words can feel unstable when:
- Stories have changed
- Information has been hidden
- Trust has been repeatedly broken
Polygraph support exists to stabilize truth, not to punish.
*Safety returns when uncertainty ends.*
At Thrive, polygraph work is fully integrated into the therapeutic process:
- Preparation and aftercare are handled by your Thrive therapist
- We coordinate with trusted, qualified polygraph examiners
- Question development is collaborative and transparent
- You are never sent to a polygraph without emotional containment before and after
This integration protects both partners from harm.
*Polygraph is integrated — Not outsourced emotionally.*
- Emotional & nervous-system preparation
- Collaborative question development
- Polygraph administration
- Immediate aftercare and stabilization
- Integration into ongoing couples work
*Preparation and aftercare matter as much as the test.*
It is designed to:
- Reduce hypervigilance
- Bring an end to ongoing doubt
- Support accountability
- Stabilize the betrayed partner
Polygraph is never used as punishment or control.
*Polygraph supports safety — Not shame.*
For couples traveling from outside Michigan or seeking concentrated care, Thrive can coordinate short-term intensives.
This may include:
- Pre-disclosure preparation
- Structured therapeutic disclosure
- Polygraph coordination
- Post-Disclosure Stabilization and Aftercare
*Intensive support still protects pacing.*
Polygraph is always coordinated with:
