True Betrayal: 9 Steps for Processing Your SpouseÕs Infidelity

True Betrayal by counselor and pastor Brad Hambrick outlines a clear, compassionate, and biblical 9-step framework for processing and healing from your spouse’s sexual infidelity.  

Finding out about your spouse’s sexual sin feels like a gut punch. In your overwhelming flood of emotions, you may feel like pretending like it never happened or you might think you need to take intense, immediate action. In the middle of your questions and pain, you need a safe, stable place to process what has happened and to take wise steps forward. Your spouse’s sexual sin is not your fault. Grief is going to be a major part of your healing journey, and the Lord is walking with you as you face what’s next.

This support group curriculum seeks to capture the gospel in slow motion and facilitates a safe environment for participants to grow together as they articulate their pain, grieve, and identify healthy ways to reengage with life and set realistic expectations for themselves and their spouse.

• 9-step model that helps participants process the intense suffering of a spouse’s infidelity with the hope of the gospel.
