After betrayal, bitterness can feel like a shield—but over time, it becomes a prison. Healing the Hurt Behind Bitterness is a trauma-informed, faith-integrated guided worksheet by Tesa Saulmon, LMHC, CSAT, designed to help betrayed spouses understand and release bitterness without dismissing their pain.
Through reflective prompts and practical exercises, you will:
Identify the losses betrayal has taken from you
Recognize the emotions hidden beneath bitterness
Differentiate between protective bitterness and healing grief
Decide who you want to be on the other side of this pain
Create a personalized “bitterness release plan” for emotional freedom
This resource is ideal for personal healing, couples recovery work, or as a tool for therapists and coaches supporting clients through betrayal trauma.
