Partner's Retreat in Georgia

 Hi Friends and Colleagues - 

I'm not sure if everyone saw my colleague, trauma therapist Tania Rochelle's blog post about the successful Partner's Retreat she just finished in Ohio? If you didn't catch it, click here to read what the Retreat was like for her and for the women who attended the sold-out event.

Tania's now ready to head up her next Partner's Retreat, this time in the gorgeous northern Georgia mountains. Included in this retreat will be a 60 minute follow-up session with me, Lili Bee, after the Retreat is finished, either via phone, videoconference or in person if you happen to live in NYC. I will help you integrate your learnings so you can transition back into your day-to-day life with a solidified sense of clarity about what's important to you going forward. Retreats are potent times for new truths to surface, older knowings to find a more comfortable place inside and/or to finally springboard some changes, large or small, that need to happen for your well-being. And of course, Retreats are the best at providing the in-person support specific to your own story that you can't easily find elsewhere for multiple days. I'm as honored to be part of this process for the attendees as I have been in the past ten-plus years working with partners.​

Over the past year, we have been steadily incorporating a more multi-sided perspective on what it takes for women to heal from betrayal trauma, or trauma incurred at the hands of the men commonly referred to as "sex addicts." We're speaking out more about the narcissistic traits like massive entitlement which underlie chronic infidelity, so women can begin to come out of shock and start to understand where these behaviors actually originate from. And we're walking away from models that claim to help but actually end up emboldening men (and even colludes with them) to maintain their "rights" to remain covertly abusive instead of calling them to account for their deceptive behaviors. We're writing more, too, about the treatment-induced trauma we hear about way too frequently from our clients who have been damaged while under the care of therapists/coaches/clergy utilizing the prevailing "sex addiction treatment model".
