Betrayal Trauma and Divorce Recovery Counseling
Rebuilding After Betrayal with Compassionate Support
Betrayal trauma—especially when rooted in infidelity, emotional neglect, or unexpected divorce—can leave deep emotional scars. At Dr. Brad Shamis & Associates, we help individuals navigate the painful aftermath of relational betrayal with compassionate, expert care. Whether you’re facing the shock of divorce, struggling with trust violations, or experiencing emotional abandonment, our goal is to help you regain a sense of stability, self-worth, and emotional clarity.
Understanding Betrayal Trauma
Betrayal trauma often causes symptoms that mimic PTSD: intrusive thoughts, anxiety, emotional numbing, and even physical distress. It can destabilize your identity, shatter your trust in others, and erode your ability to feel safe in future relationships. Our therapy helps you make sense of these overwhelming feelings in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Healing from Divorce and Emotional Abandonment
Whether your marriage ended suddenly or deteriorated over time, divorce can bring intense grief, anger, and confusion. We help you process the pain, explore unresolved emotions, and rebuild a foundation for your future—with an emphasis on emotional healing and self-discovery.
Rebuilding Trust and Identity
One of the most painful outcomes of betrayal is losing trust—not only in others but in yourself. Our counseling approach focuses on helping you regain trust, rebuild confidence, and redefine your personal identity outside the relationship that caused harm.
Trauma-Informed and Evidence-Based Therapy
We use a blend of EMDR, mindfulness-based therapy, and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to help you regulate emotional responses and shift destructive thought patterns. These techniques support long-term healing by addressing the root of your pain, not just the symptoms.
You Deserve to Heal and Be Heard
If you're navigating the fallout of betrayal or divorce, you're not alone. Let us help you reclaim your voice, your peace, and your future.
