When you’ve experienced sexual betrayal, the holidays can bring a whole new layer of emotional complexity.
Perhaps this is your first holiday season after discovery. Maybe you’re still navigating the uncertainty of recovery, or perhaps it’s been several years, but certain traditions, memories, and family gatherings still bring unexpected emotions.
Today, we want to talk about how to navigate the holidays after betrayal. Not how to make everything perfect, but how to make room for your needs, protect your emotional well-being, and perhaps discover some new ways to experience the season.
We Will be Discussing:
- What if you don’t want to make Christmas magical this year?
- How do you handle people who unknowingly represent painful parts of your story?
