In this episode, betrayal trauma recovery coaches Dawn Knight and Amy Graziano join Hali to talk about the power of small-group healing after betrayal. You'll hear why group work is designed to complement therapy and one-on-one coaching, why early-stage groups don't ask members to stop focusing on their partner, and what's different about navigating betrayal after age 50 — including the layers of decades-long marriages, adult children, identity, and financial entanglement.
Dawn and Amy also introduce Sunlit Reflections, their co-facilitated 13-week trauma-savvy support group for women in early betrayal recovery, meeting Tuesdays, 6:30–8:00 PM ET via Zoom, beginning October 6, 2026.
