    I have managed to find a csat therapist who specialises in partner betrayal trauma. She has squeezed me in early next week.
    i am both relieved and petrified but really, really hope this is going to help.

    It went well thank you. I came home exhausted but for the first time I feel heard and understood. She has told me I don’t have to make any decisions around my marriage right now, to just focus on me, which I think is what I needed to hear. Admittedly, my H has no idea that I am even considering our future. He seems to think if he’s a bit sad that that makes it all better.

    The Csat I saw does EMDR (?) trauma therapy, which seems to be the go to currently for betrayed partners. I see her again this week and we will start on some boundary work.

    You actually hit on something which seems to be the go to currently for betrayed partners. EMDR can be quite effective but it is also overrated and over used. I would do a lot of research on it first because EMDR to be presented as an option on a first time therapy session seems extremely premature in IMHO. Boundary work is a good start though.

    I haven’t really looked into it yet- she more mentioned that “down the track” EMDR could be useful and that she does use that method. I don’t believe it’s anywhere in my immediate therapy sessions but I take what you’re saying on board.
