Care for Broken Trust, Addiction, and Relational Repair
Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy in Farmington Hills
Available in-person and virtually across Michigan.
After betrayal, the relationship no longer feels familiar or safe.
You may feel:
- Unable to trust what you are being told
- Stuck between wanting closeness and wanting distance
- Emotionally flooded, hypervigilant, or numb
- Unsure whether healing is even possible
Betrayal overwhelms the nervous system of both partners and destabilizes the relationship as a whole.
This work exists because betrayal requires more than traditional couples therapy.
*Betrayal breaks safety before it breaks love.*
This work focuses on:
- Restoring emotional and relational safety
- Stabilizing trauma responses
- Establishing clarity and accountability
- Repairing attachment injuries
- Rebuilding trust gradually and ethically
*Healing after betrayal requires structure, safety, and truth.*
Healing after betrayal is paced and carefully sequenced
This work integrates:
- Betrayal-trauma-informed framework
- Attachment-based couples therapy
- Nervous-system regulation
- Accountability and recovery integration
- Gottman-informed stabilization and repair
*Stabilization comes before repair.*
Couples Healing After Betrayal helps partners:
- Reduce trauma-driven reactivity
- Establish emotional and relational safety
- Stop cycling the same betrayal arguments
- Create transparency and accountability
- Rebuild trust over time
- Restore emotional and physical connection safely
This work respects both partners nervous system and does not force timelines or outcomes.
*Repair happens at the pace safety allows.*
This service may be appropriate if your relationship has been impacted by secrecy around:
- Porn or sexual behaviors
- Addiction-related betrayal
- Sex addiction or compulsive sexual behavior
- Physical infidelity
- Emotional infidelity
- Repeated breaches of trust
- Chronic lying or deception
- Betrayed partner
- Partner who caused harm
They require care that addresses the relationship system, not just individual behavior.
*Betrayal is a relational injury, not an individual failure.*
This pathway is often the correct place to begin when:
- Addiction-related behaviors are present
- Significant information has been withheld
- Trust feels unsafe or unstable
- Trauma symptoms are active
- Partners feel overwhelmed or stuck
Beginning here protects both partners and the relationship.
*The right starting point matters.*
Traditional couples therapy focuses on communication and conflict
Couples Healing After Betrayal addresses:
- Trauma responses rather than communication alone
- Power imbalances created by secrecy
- The impact of addiction and deception
- Safety before emotional processing
When betrayal or addiction is present, starting with standard couples therapy can increase harm rather than reduce it.
*Different wounds require different care.*
Couples Healing After Betrayal often works alongside:
*Healing is supported through intentional sequencing.*
You are not broken.
