Navigating a THERAPEUTIC
FULL DISCLOSURE
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A DISCLOSURE?
A facilitated full disclosure gives the betrayed partner an opportunity to know what they need to know in order to make a choice about the relationship. It also gives the betrayer an opportunity to bring to light that which has been hidden and the double life they’ve been living. The other partner can see the truth transparently and fully. All of the facts are laid out on the table.
BENEFITS OF HAVING A DISCLOSURE
Restored truth
Confrontation of deception
Hope for a future relationship
Betraying spouse able to get free from shame and secrets
Betrayed spouse is empowered to make informed choices about the future
THE PROCESS
The disclosure process may include three separate parts. The first involves preparation for both parties and holding a planned therapeutic disclosure. The second is an impact letter the betrayed partner will prepare with the help of their individual therapist, describing the impact of their partner’s behaviors and deception. The third part of the process is an emotional restitution letter. This provides an opportunity for the one who disclosed their behaviors to respond to the impact their behaviors have caused their partner, and to begin making repair and amends.
After each step, the couples will decide with their therapists whether to proceed with the next step. Many couples have found the disclosure, impact letter, and emotional restitution exercise served an important part in their healing process and laid a foundation to begin rebuilding trust in the relationship.
RISKS
Increased shame and guilt
Temporary separations or divorce
Financial, legal, or professional consequences
Changes in family functions, including limited access to children
Loss of trust; the relationship may get worse before it gets better
WORD OF CAUTION
Because of the serious nature of the disclosure process and the significant potential for harm, it is highly recommended this be facilitated by professionals trained in guiding others through a formal therapeutic disclosure. This is not something you do on your own.

The Road Less Traveled
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD
I am all too familiar with the pain and disappointment associated with betrayal. Trust was broken. My faith was on the rocks. My mind was jumbled, and I was no longer certain about anything. I experienced betrayal within my marriage, friendships, workplace, and even within a religious institution. My own body even turned on me. I felt like a hot mess. And yet…in the fullness of time, after being sick and tired of feeling broken, I stepped out of my comfort zones and took a leap of faith.
This was not toe dipping, but rather a full-on plunge into deep waters. I was in new territory, experiencing new ways of thinking and being with myself and the world around me. My life was changed, not in an instant but over time. And I am forever grateful to those who “showed up” in my life and for the human spirit that resides within each of us.
I do realize we are but strangers, but something beyond you and me has drawn us together in this moment in time. If you are game, I truly would love the opportunity to connect with you. Just one phone call… one conversation. Perhaps I might be able to serve and support you in some way.

IMAGINE encountering a gentle stillness inside that allows you to live life fully and experience the freedom your heart has only dreamed.
