Rate this book
What happens when your partner, your person, in an instant, becomes a source of danger and pain?

Discovering a partner’s sexual betrayal spins your world out of control. In a split second, your sense of safety is shattered, your trust is gone, and everything you thought you could count on is in question.

The Betrayal Bind is here to help you make sense of the devastation that infidelity creates. Whether you have experienced an emotional affair, physical affair, sex or porn addiction, you need expert help and support to heal.

This book will help you understand exactly what happens when you experience betrayal, why your own reactions may confuse you, and how to navigate the challenges now present in your relationship, whether you are staying or leaving.

By focusing on how a partner’s attachment system functions in the wake of sexual betrayal, The Betrayal Bind offers a new, game-changing exploration into an age-old problem and connects the dots from research to the lived experience of betrayed partners.

An excellent resource. I wish I had this book when my marriage was in crisis, to help me understand what was happening. However, years later now, I still found it to be a very worthwhile read in helping me understand betrayal trauma.

Good read

Good read although clinical a times. I thought the author’s personal story of be betrayal and recovery was most helpful and poignant
