The need for a fresh perspective regarding sexual betrayal cannot be overstated. Both those impacted by sexual betrayal and treatment professionals struggled to understand and address the complex emotional dynamics and behavior patterns that emerge following betrayal.

The Attachment-Focused Partner Betrayal Model™ addresses the acute need for a demystifying paradigm and a clear treatment path through…
✔️ Introducing a new attachment-based model that presents new language, concepts and imagery to explore the crucial relational dilemma that betrayed partners face when their significant other is unsafe to connect to, yet connection is the key to healing.
✔️ Prioritizing the relational nature of sexual betrayal, recognizing that even the best guidance and help can fall short without a thorough understanding of how an attachment system in distress functions and alters relationships with the self and others.
✔️ Re-focusing the work of recovery toward learning how to come back into a state of connection after experiencing the profoundly fragmentation experience of disconnection through betrayal.

The Attachment-Focused Partner Betrayal Model™ is rooted in research examining the nature and role of betrayal in traumatic experiences.

Betrayal creates immediate relational disconnection. This experience of disconnection lies at the root of all the symptomatic behaviors that betrayed partners display in the aftermath of betrayal.

Without understanding this core issue – how a partner’s attachment system functions in the wake of sexual betrayal – we are missing a vital element in understanding why partners do the things they do and how to effectively treat them. We also miss the key to unlocking true long-lasting information: relational connection. Because if betrayal happens in relationship, then it makes sense that our healing and restoration much also happen in relationship.

The Attachment-Focused Partner Betrayal Model™ identifies three overlapping injuries at the heart of sexual betrayal:

💔 the attachment injury
💔 the emotional & psychological injury
💔 the sexual injury

These three injuries weave together, creating an overlapping, intertwining kaleidoscope of betrayal that often touches the nerve center of all three experiences simultaneously.

The 7 Betrayal Binds are the relational dilemmas that are created when betrayal occurs at the hands of our most significant other.

1. Heart Bind
2. Attachment Ambivalence Bind
3. Attachment Shame Bind
4. Betrayal Blindness Bind
5. Fear of Loss Bind
6. Powerlessness Bind
7. Sexual Carried Shame Bind

The Attachment-Focused Partner Betrayal Model™ provides a clear attachment-based path to healing partner betrayal.

This path moves through six phases: devastation, realization, stabilization, reimagining, creating, and flourishing. Each phase of the Attachment-Focused Partner Betrayal Model™ has its own goals, tasks and outcomes.

Each of these phases outlines the specific skills, tools and relational abilities that, when developed, will move betrayed partners out of pain and confusion in a place of connection, empowerment and wholeness.
