“If you’re looking for a structured, supportive way to work through your feelings and reclaim your sense of self, this journal is an essential resource that I highly recommend.”
—Kelly Bentz, LPC, CSAT, Betrayed Partner Specialist
Betrayal trauma due to infidelity by a spouse or partner is one of the most painful experiences a woman can face due to the devastating relational fracturing and broken trust that’s incurred. Some experts in the field say that it’s second only to the loss of a child because your life partner—the man you trusted, loved entirely, and believed you knew—has a metaphorical death upon your discovery of the life of lies they had been perpetuating and the double life they have been leading.
Because journaling is an essential tool for self discovery via brain dumps at 4 AM in the morning and note taking, but it’s not ideal for tracking where you are in your recovery process as an individual or as a couple, I Am: Reclaiming Me picks up where the blank pages of a standard journal leave you wanting. It is a structured journal designed for newly betrayed partners with valuable insights into the complexities of betrayal. The reader is guided through repeated questions for a three month period allowing them to assess their personal recovery as well as that of their coupleship—and if they should stay or go—at the end of that timeframe.
