Not to remember — to audit.
What was real? What was a lie?

Are you ready to rise...
-
From "I must be crazy" to knowing "I'm traumatized."
-
From reacting on autopilot to recognizing what your nervous system needs in the moment — and choosing your responses instead of being run by them.
-
From bracing for judgment to speaking the truth out loud without managing anyone else's reactions.
-
From running on empty, trying to keep life "normal" for everyone else to knowing what you actually need — and building a recovery plan that sets your healing in motion.
-
From believing his betrayal was a verdict about your value to naming, out loud, that it reflects his sickness — not your worth.
Melissa and her husband were pastoring a church when his sexual behavior came to light again. She felt scared, alone, and didn't know who she could trust. Unable to regulate her emotions without turning to food or alcohol, she considered leaving her faith altogether.
In Women in the Battle Melissa immediately felt understood and heard in a way she never had before. Still, it felt vulnerable to join a group of women she didn't know, exposing what she thought had to stay hidden. Melissa worried that she would be judged the way she had been in other Christian circles. Her facilitators led the group through grounding techniques with such a gentle spirit. Melissa felt connected, calm and focused — something she desperately needed after years of anxiety and ruminating thoughts. This was exactly what Melissa needed to begin making sense of her experience.
Through the Healing Path, Melissa finally found her voice. For the first time, she felt real hope that things were actually going to change, that she didn't have to keep living with her husband's addiction in silence the way she had for so many years before.
Today, Melissa is a genuinely different person. She has new measures of self-worth, skills to regulate herself, and confidence in using boundaries that hold true to her own values. Her relationship with God is gently healing. She has real understanding for other women in the same situation — enough now that she facilitates a group in Women in the Battle. Women in the Battle is a community she loves and instantly connects with, even the very first time meeting someone new. She knows she can trust these women with both her smiles and her tears.

The Healing Path Course
"I felt betrayed not just by my husband, but by my church, my pastor, and even God. Severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and total isolation followed.
I don't like group settings, so joining Women in the Battle was a big step. But a few weeks in, it started to feel truly safe — no judgment, no condemnation. I've reclaimed my voice, my creativity, and a joy I had zero capacity for when I started.
My husband joined Men in the Battle. Within a few months I watched genuine, undeniable heart change — not a religious mask, real transformation. I would have walked away from my marriage without this group." - Kathy

FAQ's
How is Women in the Battle different from other support groups?
Most support groups for betrayal ask you to focus on your own patterns first — how you might need to control less, or how you have contributed to the problems in your marriage. Women in the Battle views your reactions not as a character issue for you to manage, but as trauma reactions to the threat of betrayal. Healing here weaves together applied brain science, the body's own wisdom, and a faith that's honest rather than performed, because you cannot heal from trauma this complex with only your mind or behavior modification.
Most support groups are also unstructured — anyone can join, anyone can share anything, with no guarantee for how the room is held. In Women in the Battle you're getting trained peer facilitators who love God. You're held through guided nervous system regulation practices, a highly structured meeting experience, and a curriculum built to move you forward, not retraumatize you further.
What is the time commitment?
One 90-minute group each week, plus a short video (5-15 minutes long) and worksheet you can move through at your own speed. That's it. This isn't designed to be one more obligation stacked on an already full life. It's designed to be the one place each week where you finally set something down. Need to miss some meetings or lessons due to other commitments? No problem. We'll be here when you can come.
What will this cost me emotionally?
This is not an open floor for venting. Every group session is structured and facilitator-led, working through curriculum one lesson at a time. Women leave our meetings feeling more connected, calm, and hopeful.
Ruth pictured a room of upset women before she ever walked in, and worried it would drain energy she didn't have to spare. What she found instead was structure, a facilitator guiding the material, and women who felt like a breath of fresh air rather than a drain.
What if my story isn't bad enough to need this?
This question is usually the trauma talking, not the truth. You do not need a confirmed level of acting out to be in crisis. You do not need someone else's validation of the severity of your pain to need support.
Tamara almost joined three separate times over five years and talked herself out of it every time, telling herself her story wasn't "bad" enough. She says now she wishes she hadn't waited those five years to get the help she needed all along.
What if someone in the group recognizes me?
Confidentiality is a foundation of every group, not an afterthought. Many women say the anonymity is part of what makes it possible to finally be honest. Change your name if it helps. we understand the need for privacy here.
Rachel waited until the last second to turn her camera on for her first meeting, just to make sure she didn't recognize anyone first. Once she saw she didn't know anyone this instantly felt like a place she could finally bare her soul.
We're already spending so much on his healing. Can I justify spending more on myself?
Partial scholarships are available. And your healing does not need his permission, his progress, or his price tag to matter. It is its own investment, on its own timeline, regardless of what he does next.
Denise almost didn't join because of how much she and her husband were already spending on therapy, and because some part of her believed she wasn't worth it. Now she finally knows her own worth and won't accept less-than anymore.
I'm capable of figuring this out on my own. Do I really need a group ?
Books and podcasts can be a real help. But there is a difference between learning information alone and being known by other women living the exact same thing in real time.
One of our newest members, Belinda recently told me..." It’s like having a mom hug from someone who gets this really deep part of your heart life that goes unseen. Its the closest thing to feeling the comfort of being home, and we’re all just getting to know each other. I think it’s the ability to lay the burden at the door. Like a kid getting home from school, setting their backpack down and just relieved to be home."
"My husband was a pastor and lost his job due to the betrayal. My life felt like a bad dream. I couldn't tell up from down. I was embarrassed, so I spoke to as few people as possible, all while trying to keep things normal at home for my two little boys.
My biggest worry about joining Women in the Battle was that I'd know someone in the group so I waited until the very last second to turn my camera on, just to be sure I'd seen every other face first. But once I realized I didn't recognize anyone, I had no hesitation left. It instantly felt like a place I could finally bare my soul.
Every week gave me language I didn't have before — gaslighting, healthy detachment, full disclosure. I learned I wasn't crazy or alone. Now I know who I am apart from my marriage. I want to be married, but I don't need to be." - Jenny
In their Men in the Battle and Women in the Battle groups, Thomas and Jessica found tools that reshaped their marriage. Jessica learned detachment -- not forgetting Thomas or pushing him aside, but relinquishing control of his journey so she could focus on her own healing and their daughters. Thomas learned to identify the root traumas beneath years of unnamed marriage problems, and built real accountability with other men. Thomas began showing real, sustained change, Jessica says he is a better husband and father than he has been in all of their marriage.
Both are clear: this transformation could not have happened in isolation.

If you’re married, your husband doesn’t have to walk this road alone either.
My husband, Michael, leads Men in the Battle®—a powerful, trauma-informed program that supports men in breaking free from unwanted sexual behaviors and stepping into lasting transformation. This isn’t behavior management. It’s heart-level healing.
Michael understands this journey from the inside out, and he's helped hundreds of men move from secrecy and shame into freedom and integrity.
If you’d like your husband to receive information about how to join Men in the Battle®, simply click below and share his contact details. We’ll make sure he gets everything he needs. Please note: Men in the Battle is a separate registration from Women in the Battle.

"I was a pastor's wife holding a secret alone for years — not knowing who to trust, feeling crazy and being told I was crazy.
My therapist recommended Women in the Battle where I learned what abuse actually looks like. I learned how to prepare an exit strategy. God opened doors I never thought possible — financial independence, employment, a home for my kids and me — even though I'd been out of the workforce for years. My marriage ended in divorce, which went against everything I was raised to believe.
But now I have peace I can't put a price on.
I'm off more than half my medications and no longer see any of the specialists I used to need.' - Jamie
