Here is what betrayed partners who have completed the Braving Hope 12-week coaching program have to say:

Audrey (Maryland)

The Braving Hope Program has given me courage to live a fulfilling life again. Through this program, I realized I was internalizing my partner’s addictive behavior(s), thus causing me to be insecure and harbor negative feelings which all have drained me emotionally, mentally and physically. This is truly a great investment.

Cindi (California)

When I began the Braving Hope program I was not sure how I could make it to the other side of betrayal. Doubt, sadness, anger, pain and so many feelings ran through me daily. The program, under Michelle’s guidance, asked me to look deeper and push myself further than I thought I could go. The material, organized so helpfully in manageable phases provided me with the knowledge and information to unpack all I was feeling and process it at a pace I could handle. And it gave me so much more to look at, old wounds to heal. I understand The Bigger Story of this journey and that is thanks to the teachings and resources offered in Braving Hope.

Kay (Wisconsin)

This program was everything I was searching for several months into betrayal. I had been doing counseling but this is what worked the best for me. Worth every penny. The program validated and made sense of what I was going through. It helped me feel safe and know I was not alone. I liked that I was able to do it at my own pace for the most part and could refer back to things since it is all a bit overwhelming. Would definitely suggest this program to anyone going through betrayal. Best online resource I found.

Debby (Washington, DC)

I feel that I have grown beyond the pain. I see a very bright future for myself. Through Braving Hope I have come to the stage that I am grateful for discovery. I am grateful that our entire world was broken open, and we are now looking at it honestly, learning from it. I have a chance to live authentically in a way I never would have if my partner and I had remained living the way we did before discovery, and if I had not had the chance to learn and grow through Braving Hope. My new understanding of myself, and the work I will keep doing to understand myself and to share who I am in all my relationships, will change my life moving forward in such a positive way – a way that requires work, honesty and sometimes pain and discomfort, but a way that will lead to strong connections and deeper understandings. The pain of betrayal is no longer is an open wound. It is healing and the growth was worth the pain. I may not know exactly which path I will take moving forward, but I know that I am able to look beneath the surface and work to understand my fears, face them and take a risk. I am finally able to see this experience of betrayal trauma as a doorway to live more fully in a way that I could not envision before. I am so thankful for Michelle and Braving Hope. I am not sure how I could have come to this kind of understanding without Braving Hope. Thank you!

Jane L. (New York)

Where do I begin? Michelle Mays is a treasure with a wealth of knowledge, insight, and brilliance. I only wish I had found this program a couple of years ago. I have learned and grown so much in the past few months. I have learned to set boundaries, use my powerful voice, and that everything I have felt in reaction to betrayal has been normal. This has truly been an enlightening experience and has helped me know that whatever the future holds for my marriage, I will be okay. I highly recommend this program for anyone navigating the confusing, painful road that is betrayal trauma.

Jennifer (Maryland)

This program gives knowledge and understanding to facilitate healing from betrayal that usually would take years to obtain. This is probably the fastest way to heal as the concepts presented are immediately applicable and are more thorough and go much deeper than most groups or materials that are available elsewhere. Michelle Mays is not only one of the leading Betrayal Trauma Specialists in the U.S., her knowledge and insight are above and beyond any other counselor in this field. Though this program is expensive, the investment is truly worth it.

This program IS ideal for you if…

  • You are struggling with sexual betrayal as a result of sexual addiction or infidelity and want a clear effective path out of the trauma to reclaim your life.
  • You are decisive and want to take action to help yourself.
  • You reject the belief that betrayal has made you a victim.
  • You know that your partner can’t heal you even though he/she hurt you.
  • You are open to taking risks and to new ways of thinking, being, and doing.
  • You are willing to take personal responsibility for your healing and happiness.
  • You believe wholeheartedly that it is possible to heal and live a full flourishing life after betrayal.

The program is NOT ideal if…

  • You have just discovered betrayal within the last 60 days. During the first two months post-discovery, partners are often too overwhelmed to be able to take in new information and use it well. We want you to be able to make the best possible use of the information and to take decisive action on your behalf while in this program.
  • You have not yet entered therapy or a healing process of any kind to address the betrayal. Those who have established qualified care and support and begun the process of healing will be better able to fully utilize the program to transform their lives.
  • You are not willing to invest significant time, energy and financial resources in your healing. This program is an intensive immersive experience that will transform your life and relationships and requires a serious commitment of time and energy.
