Hello, New Friend!

Thank you for watching my interview with Tammy Gustafson as part of the 2025 Betrayal Healing Conference. I hope you found care and connection within our conversation, supported by awareness that healing is profoundly different—but also profoundly inspiring!—for survivors of betrayal-related separation and divorce.

As promised during our interview, I’m honored to share one of my favorite worksheets for individuals healing “alone in the aftermath” of sexual betrayal. I’ve named this worksheet Determining Closure: Symbols of Significance, and it’s an excerpt from material I wrote for my signature divorce support program, Avenue D: Road to Debridement. 

Through a series of reflection questions, I invite survivors to examine the objects and experiences that represent your former relationship—especially any that feel intangible, inconclusive or unresolved. I then encourage you to reengage, reframe and reclaim those “symbols of significance,” infusing them with new meaning for your evolving and independent future. The worksheet ends by inviting you to write new vows to yourself, a concrete means of “talking back to trauma” through intentional expressions of self-love and self-commitment.

In closing, if I can support you further as a client or colleague, please let me know. I offer a free consultation (30 minutes) via Zoom, and I’d love to learn more about the work YOU are doing, personally and/or professionally. Additionally, you can find ALL of my divorce-specific resources on this dedicated page of my website: healingtalksback.com/aftermath.

With TLC always,
Rae
