The Ground Beneath You Just Dissapeared
When betrayal shatters your world, your nervous system kicks into survival.
Panic, numbness, rage, and confusion, sometimes all within the same hour.
If you’re here, you might be exhausted from trying to hold it all together.
Maybe you’ve googled a dozen late-night questions, hoping for something that makes sense.
You’re not crazy. You’re in betrayal trauma.
And you don’t have to do this alone.
What if you didn’t have to figure this out alone?
Whether you found me through my content, a masterclass, or a friend, you’re here because you’re ready for something different.
You’re tired of:
- Feeling like you’re losing your mind
- Going in circles with the same thoughts
- Not knowing who to trust—including yourself
- Hearing “just get over it” or “make a decision already”
- Therapy that doesn’t fully understand betrayal trauma
In our work together, I help you:
-
Stabilize your nervous system so you can think clearly again
-
Interrupt the obsessive loops and spirals that keep you awake at night
-
Understand your trauma response and stop blaming yourself for it
-
Rebuild trust with yourself—even if you don’t know what comes next
-
Begin to feel your aliveness, power, and clarity return
Whether you’re staying, leaving, or still unsure, this space is yours to begin to make sense of this event, and rediscover yourself
The Three Stages of Healing From Betrayal
Healing from betrayal moves in phases, each one asking something different of you.
I use a simple, three-stage framework to help you understand where you are and what you need next.
Stabilization
In this phase, everything feels chaotic. You may feel flooded, dissociated, panicked, or numb. The focus here is on grounding your nervous system, creating emotional safety, and helping you get through the day. Thoughts may look like:
“I can’t sleep.”
“I’m obsessing.”
“I don’t recognize myself.”
Together, we’ll work gently to bring your body out of survival mode and give you tools to feel steadier.
meaning making
Once you’ve regained a sense of emotional safety, we begin exploring what happened, without retraumatizing you. This is where we untangle the confusion, internalized blame, and deeper wounds that betrayal has surfaced. Thoughts may look like:
“Was any of it real?”
“Did I miss something?”
“What does this say about me?”
This is where clarity starts to return, and you start to regain your voice.
Decision and rebuilding
In this phase, you begin making decisions based on self-trust rather than reactivity. Whether you’re staying in the relationship, leaving, or still unsure, this is where we start to rebuild your foundation on your terms. Thoughts may look like:
“I know what I need now.”
“I’m not afraid of my truth.”
“I can trust myself again”
This is the beginning of a different kind of wholeness. Not who you were before, but someone wiser and more deeply rooted.
My name is Brigitte Theriault.
I’m a relationship coach and mindfulness teacher, trained in the Developmental Model, Somatic Experiencing, and Gottman Affair Recovery.
But more than anything, I know this terrain because I’ve been there.
I know what it feels like to be awake at 2 am replaying what happened, the confusion of trying to figure out WHY they did this, and the long road to rebuilding yourself after such a painful experience.
I’ve dedicated my life to understanding the path to healing from this life changing event – and created a map, so that you don’t have to.
My work is for women who are ready to stop spiraling and start anchoring.
Women who want to feel whole again in their own bodies.
Women who want to move through betrayal without bypassing the grief, the rage, or the truth of what happened.
Whether you stay or leave, rebuild or release, my job isn’t to rush your decision.
It’s to help you come home to yourself—to the woman you were before betrayal shattered your reality.
You deserve more than survival. Let’s get you grounded again.

This isn’t traditional talk therapy.
We work through the body, the emotions, and the beliefs betrayal left behind.

Somatic support: nervous system regulation, custom practices
Emotional anchoring: mindfulness, self-compassion, attachment repair
