Helping Couples Heal Workshop
A 2-Day Transformational Workshop for Couples Recovering From Betrayal Trauma
The Helping Couples Heal Couples Workshop is an empowering 2-day workshop for couples committed to healing their relationship after betrayal and is designed to provide coaching and educate both partners about the traumatic impact of relational betrayal through psychoeducation, experiential practice and group peer support. This workshop is co-facilitated by Marnie Breecker and Jaclyn Schwartz. Marnie Breecker is also the founder of The Center For Relational Healing in San Diego and Los Angeles, CA. Jaclyn has been working with Marnie at the Center for Relational Healing for the past 10 years.
Recognizing trauma changes how we view and treat the betrayed partner, the betrayer and the couple. Using the Partner Trauma Model as its foundation, the goal of this workshop is to provide a framework to help couples heal from relational and betrayal trauma. Because trust is the foundation for a healthy relationship, broken trust is the most critical injury for couples recovering from betrayal trauma. A primary goal of this workshop is to provide a framework from which trust and intimacy can be restored through the healing of relational and betrayal trauma.
This workshop highlights those aspects of trauma that cause the primary attachment & relationship ruptures for couples and consists of three components: psychoeducation, group process and experiential learning (the third component is only available in-person). Our goal is to help couples heal by providing specific interventions and tools to increase empathy, compassion and patience, reduce shame, rebuild trust and intimacy and foster relational healing.

Helping Couples Heal has a website that is full of resources, including their game-changing workshop! You can find ALL of Duane & Marnie’s excellent podcasts on the website. (Also available on other platforms) These podcasts and their workshop are incredibly partner-sensitive and trauma-informed, something that came as a much-needed breath of fresh air for me after 18 months of treatment-induced trauma at the hands of a pair of codependent therapists. Duane & Marnie & the people at HCH are a real exception to what many of us have experienced at the hands of other therapists.
