OVERVIEW:

Hope After Betrayal is a support group for women who have experienced any form of sexual betrayal in their marriage. This nine-week group will help you pursue the recovery and healing of Christ in a safe, confidential, and grace-filled community.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS GROUP IS RIGHT FOR ME?

You’ve experienced sexual betrayal trauma, such as your husband’s pornography use or infidelity.
You are married, separated, or divorced. All are welcome.
You desire to explore your own healing with the support of other women.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

Participants will work individually through Shelley Martinkus' Rescued: A Woman’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving After Sexual Betrayal and come ready to discuss with the group each week.
The group is a closed group—no one will be added once it starts.
The group will meet for nine weeks and is capped at seven participants.
The group is led by two female Austin Stone Partners who have experienced spousal sexual betrayal.
This is not a therapeutic group and should not be used to replace therapy.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME?

Group members must be able to attend at least 8 out of 9 sessions to participate.
Group members must commit to confidentiality and supporting others in their healing.
Group members must commit to focusing on their pain and recovery instead of focusing on their spouse and his recovery.
Group members must be committed to completing weekly reading and homework.
Group members must be familiar with The Austin Stone's Affirmation of Faith and acknowledge their willingness to engage from this framework.
