The Betrayed Adults Therapy Group
This 12-week group is offered twice a year. The fall session runs from September to December. The winter session runs from February to May. The group meets in person on Thursdays at Dr. Manning’s office from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. This group is designed for individuals who have recently learned they have been betrayed or who are early in the healing process.
The Advanced Therapy Group for Betrayed Adults
(The Betrayed Partners Therapy Group is a prerequisite.) This group is designed for betrayed individuals who are in the latter stages of recovery and who are post-disclosure. The group meets in person at Dr. Manning’s office on the second Thursday of each month (September to May) from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. The topics covered address long-term healing, moving forward, and reclaiming life.
If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
