Betrayal Trauma Support for Partners of Sex Addicts
Healing After Infidelity and Hidden Sexual Behavior

Finding out your partner has been unfaithful or struggling with sex addiction is a kind of pain that’s hard to put into words. It can feel like the life you thought you had suddenly disappears. You might be asking yourself, “Was any of it real?” or “How did I not know?” These are common and deeply human reactions to betrayal trauma.

Betrayal trauma happens when someone you deeply trust—often a spouse or long-term partner—violates that trust through infidelity, lies, or hidden sexual behavior like porn addiction, sexting, or online affairs. It’s not just heartbreak. It’s a trauma response. You may feel anxious, emotionally flooded, hypervigilant, or numb. You may find it hard to sleep, eat, or concentrate. You’re not imagining things—and you’re not overreacting. Your world just got turned upside down.

As a therapist who specializes in betrayal trauma and partners of sex addicts, I understand how overwhelming and isolating this experience can be. Many of the people I work with say, “I don’t even know who I am anymore.” That’s where therapy can help.

In betrayal trauma therapy, our work focuses on stabilizing your nervous system, helping you feel safe again, and reclaiming your voice. This isn’t about blaming you or labeling you as codependent. This is about honoring your experience and supporting your healing—whether your partner is getting help or not.

I use a trauma-informed approach grounded in the Partner Trauma Model developed by experts in the CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) community. This model acknowledges that what you’re going through is not your fault—and that healing is possible with the right support.

If you’re looking for a betrayal trauma therapist in Florida, I offer compassionate, confidential therapy via telehealth to clients across the state—including Pensacola, Jacksonville, and surrounding areas. You don’t have to go through this alone.

You deserve support. You deserve clarity. You deserve healing.
