Absolutely stellar read for anyone who is in a relationship where they feel betrayed or has ever been in one. This book will help you come to terms with your feelings and understand yourself better. It is not a "man hater" type book. It really deals compassionately with the issues of cheating and betrayal, and offers things to consider when trying to decide whether to stay in the relationship or end it. Really amazing book. I recommend it to anyone suffering through a betrayal. It will open your eyes and validate your feelings.

Extremely helpful.
I really liked the understanding and empathy of the author. The book neither preached nor blamed the person dealing with this type of trauma. I found the journal prompts and writing suggestions helpful in sorting and sifting through the various emotions and feelings involved. I highly recommend this book if you or someone you know is experiencing this type of situation.

Start your healing journey here
I wish I had purchased this book earlier in my healing journey. The journal prompts are actually helpful. She is able to put accurate words to unspeakable trauma. With the perpetrator being your very best friend, the visible trauma symptoms are uniquely horrible. Most trauma victims do not depend upon their perpetrator for comfort and love.
Diabolical.
But each day we work to do the next best thing, work on ourselves and love ourselves better than we did the day before... and magic begins to happen! Through the unspeakable agony...an unshakable sense of self with true freedom emerges. Joy from within is worth more than any superficial, half hearted, “love” offered by anyone around us. Exploring a new type of love may (or may not) come later but I truly feel that after suffering betrayal trauma, grieving, doing the tedious self work... the inner peace that resides is much more powerful than any approval or affection from an outside source.

As a therapist who works extensively with infidelity, I can definitely say that The Aftermath of Betrayal is a good book for someone who has been impacted by infidelity. I recommend it to clients because it isn't long, it has practical and kind advice, making you feel like you are not alone, and there are exercises at the end of discussions to help the Hurt partner collect their thoughts in a helpful way to aid moving forward.

The author is a business person, not a healer. This book has no depth of understanding and lacks practical guidance. The information included within would be better suited for a superficial blog post and was obviously not researched well or very deeply at all. This feels like a money grab aimed at vulnerable and struggling people. Avoid if you are sincerely looking for healing.

A book that saw inside me and gave me permission to fall apart. Being allowed the space to process and grieve in my own way, make gains, lose ground, and be told that it is all normal is the best comfort I have had during the worst period in my life.
