Care

“For years, I struggled alone, knowing my husband had a struggle and would view porn. It was a cycle of stopping the behavior and falling back into it again. I was losing hope and the pain of feeling like I was not enough was devastating. Eventually, the hurt was so consuming, I didn’t know how to move past it. We both felt alone in the shame we each carried. What I have learned since is that the hurt I held onto was a trauma response. I also learned that so many people in the church struggle with porn. In this group, I found a place to process the hurt, learn what is happening to me and my husband, and I now know how to move forward with wisdom.”

 

“When I found out about my husband’s affair, I was devastated. I did not know what to do or who to turn to. As believers, no one in our church seemed to have walked this road, or so we thought. This group connected me with other believers who have been there. The decisions after an affair are hard. I needed a place to process what happened, recognize what healing looks like, learn how to keep myself safe, and regain trust in myself. With the help of counseling and this group, I have confidence in myself, a stronger marriage, and a deeper faith in Christ. The more we share our story, the more we realize so many other believers have walked or are walking this road. Taking the first step to join a group is hard, but it was worth it.”

“Being in Betrayal & Beyond was a godsend. I liked how, at the beginning of the material, it’s validating and focused on self-care while I was experiencing such betrayal, anger, trauma, and sadness. Knowing you are with other women who have been through what you have been through is an amazing journey, and so full of encouragement and life. We need to do these things in community.”
