Empower, Enlighten, Elevate Your Practice!

Our community of professionals share a passion for understanding and providing top care for those dealing with betrayal trauma and verbal/emotional abuse.

Our goal is to create a supportive network where clinicians can learn, connect, and enjoy being part of a caring community dedicated to supporting individuals as they heal and journey to their post-traumatic transformation.

Each month, we pick a book exploring betrayal trauma or emotional/verbal abuse. We'll share perspectives, discuss our take aways, and uncover how these resources can enhance our abilities as therapists for our clients.

Monthly Goals:

  • Identifying the indicators of Betrayal Trauma and Emotional/Verbal Abuse

  • Exploring the emotional journeys of our clients

  • Cultivating resilience and promoting personal growth in our clients

  • Experimenting with various therapeutic approaches to foster healing


    If you've ever felt overwhelmed with betrayal trauma and emotional/verbal abuse cases or simply desired a group of welcoming peers to exchange ideas with, please join us!
