Betrayal trauma is a profound and often devastating emotional response that occurs when someone we trust deeply violates that trust. The impact of betrayal trauma can be intense and far-reaching, affecting various aspects of a person's life and wellbeing. Trust issues, self-doubt and self-blame, diminished self-esteem and loss of confidence are experienced. The emotional fallout from betrayal can lead to heightened anxiety and/or persistent sadness. As a betrayal trauma expert, I can help you navigate the complexities of the aftermath of infidelity and work towards a brighter, more resilient future.

Increased accessibility to pornography has drastically expanded its prevalence. For some, viewing pornography can become compulsive, meaning it can feel like an uncontrollable habit that interferes with daily life, work, and relationships. Research has shown that pornography addiction can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as feelings of shame and guilt, particularly when the person is trying to stop but feels unable to do so.
If you're struggling with pornography addiction, you're not alone. Many people face this challenge, but it doesn’t have to define your life or your relationships. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of your behavior, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward lasting recovery.
