This therapy model is based on the book Help Them Heal by Carol Juergensen Sheets also known online as Carol the Coach.
This method is used in couples therapy and it works to teach both addict and partner how to heal their relationship after sexual betrayal.
The goal is to help couples find their way back to each other after betrayal. This is a difficult process for both parties, and it takes both hard work and patience. Weeding through the hurt, shame and anger is slow going, especially at the start. Having an experienced therapist as a guide can be a tremendous asset to the coupleship.
The model focuses on the key ingredients needed for couple’s healing:
- Empathy
- Compassion
- Communication
- Hard Work
It helps couples work through the 3 stages of recovery:
- Safety
- Grief
- Growth
This model helps the couple learn and practice skills to help develop empathy while practicing ways to communicate, listen and respond in ways that keep the conversation going rather than getting stuck or become disconnected.
At Spectrum Recovery Solutions David LLewellyn is our ERCEM trained CSAT who is available to work with couples suffering from ruptured attachment caused by sexual betrayal.
