After Infidelity: Women’s Healing Support Group
About Your Group Leader
This program is led by me- Suzie Yoder. A trauma-informed marriage and family therapist. I am not an internet “coach.” I am a licensed professional trained in relational therapy and group facilitation to help you heal and move forward with clarity. My professional work is supervised by Dr. Heather Katafiasz.
My approach integrates:
Trauma-informed coaching principles
Nervous system regulation tools
Attachment and relational repair frameworks
Skilled group facilitation so every hour benefits every participant
Knowledge of the affair recovery process, stages and typical hang ups/set backs
You don’t have to have everything figured out right now, you deserve time to heal.
FAQ
-
No. You are always in control of what you share. Many participants begin by simply listening before engaging
-
That is exactly what this space is designed for. You will be guided through regulation tools and supported within a structured, emotionally safe environment. You receive guidance on how to move through these moments on your own.
-
Yes. This program is not about telling you what to do—it is about helping you regain clarity, emotional stability, and self-trust so you can make grounded decisions. Some women in the group will have already decided to leave the relationship that was unfaithful, others will be actively working to repair their relationship. This is a judgement free space focused on YOU and your healing and less about the relationship. From this space you will either be moving on to a new chapter of your life or moving forward towards a repaired relationship with your partner. Both options are possible with the version of you that feels whole and healed.
-
Group therapy and support adds something powerful: shared healing, normalization, and relational repair through connection. Many women experience breakthroughs simply from realizing they are not alone. This is a great resource to do in tandem with couples therapy.
-
Each session meets for six weeks. The groups meet virtually every week for one hour. After you register, you will be placed in an upcoming group and will be notified of the start date. You may choose between a group that meets Wednesdays at 7pm or Saturdays at 9am Eastern Central Time.
-
Each session begins with coaching with Suzie. This time might cover best practices for processing emotions, nervous system regulation techniques or a deep dive into the stages of healing. After this time, it is open for the group to share, ask questions of one another
-
Closed groups begin and end with the same participants. Open groups allow new participants to join at any time. There are two options for groups. The first is a six week closed group session. This allows you to receive the emotional depth and connection from other participants and to receive important guidance for healing each week from me. After women have completed the 6 week closed group, many have wanted to continue on for the sense of community and support. There is an open group available to anyone who has completed the 6 week program. You are welcome to attend this group as long as it feels helpful to you. The 6 week program is purchased together with one payment ($667 or two payments of $337.) The cost per session of this 6 week group is $111. The price per session for the open group if you wish to continue is $140 per session.

What You Can Expect
In this group, you will:
Understand the emotional impact of betrayal and trauma
Learn how to stabilize intense thoughts and feelings
Learn practical what to do and what not to do in the immediate aftermath of the affair
Rebuild self-trust and inner clarity
Explore your options without pressure or judgment
Feel less alone through connection with others who truly understand
Most importantly:
A shift from a sense of emotional chaos and crisis → grounded clarity.
From Broken to Becoming Whole
This is a premium 6-week group experience designed specifically for women recovering from infidelity and relational betrayal.
If you’ve experienced infidelity in your relationship, you may be feeling:
Emotional overwhelm or anxiety
Intrusive thoughts and rumination
Anger, numbness, or emotional swings
Loss of identity and self-trust
Confusion about what was real and what to do next
This is betrayal trauma. It impacts your nervous system, your sense of safety, and your ability to trust yourself.
You don’t heal by thinking your way out of it.
You heal it through structured emotional support, relational safety, and guided recovery work.
Why a group?
“True healing from trauma happens in community, not in solitude” -Elizabeth Smart
Because trauma and shame thrive in isolation—and healing happens in connection. Research on group therapy consistently shows that shared-group environments reduce shame, normalize emotional responses, and improve psychological outcomes like depression, anxiety, and trauma-related distress. In group settings, women don’t just learn about healing—they experience it in real time through connection, validation, and relational safety.
Four ways group work facilitates healing
1. Shame can not thrive in safe connection with others
Infidelity often leads to:
Self-blame
Emotional isolation from friends and families while you’re deciding what to share to protect your partner and your relationship.
Dramatic decrease in self esteem and feelings of self worth
In group healing, something shifts:
You realize your reactions are normal, understand their purpose and receive guidance to move through stages of healing.
Shame grows in isolation, in this group you experience you are not alone.
2. Nervous system healing requires intentional regulation
Betrayal trauma dysregulates the nervous system.
Inside this group, you will experience:
Emotional grounding in real time
Safe expression without judgment
Nervous system regulation
Emotional stabilization practices
Healing becomes embodied—not just intellectual.
3. Self-trust is rebuilt through experience
After betrayal, many women struggle with:
Second-guessing themselves
Losing intuition and confidence
Feeling out of control as emotions feel unpredictable and intense.
This group helps you build:
Inner clarity and peace (This is possible!)
Boundaries that honor your needs
Emotional trust in yourself
Decision-making confidence
4. Structure prevents emotional spiraling
Without structure, recovery often becomes:
Rumination loops
Emotional overwhelm
Repetitive thinking about the betrayal that activates your nervous system and keeps you feeling unsafe
