Disclosure Support
For some women, part of the healing process involves a therapeutic disclosure
- a structured process where information about the betrayal is shared in a supported and carefully contained way.
Disclosure can feel like an important step.
It can also bring up uncertainty, fears and many questions. In this work, the focus is not just on what is shared,
but on what feels meaningful, safe, and useful for you to understand, and how this information fits into your life - your decisions, your relationships,
and your day-to-day functioning moving forward.
Disclosure is usually approached over time, with preparation beforehand and support around the process itself.
This allows the information to be shared in a way that feels more structured, contained, and manageable to receive, rather than overwhelming or confusing.
This also allows time to consider what this information means for you in a practical sense - how it may shape your choices, your boundaries, and how you move through your daily life.
For many women, this step comes after some initial support -
when there is more stability, and a clearer sense of what you need from the process.
My role is to support you in preparing for disclosure in a
way that feels:
Thoughtful
Boundaried
Connective
Supportive
Disclosure preparation includes:
> clarifying what you need and don’t need to know, and why
> identifying what information feels important for your understanding, rather than distressing or unnecessary
> developing questions that feel purposeful and relevant to your life, not just the details of what occurred
> exploring how disclosure may impact you - emotionally, relationally, and in your day-to-day life
> creating a plan for support and regulation, so you’re not left holding this on your own
