12-Week Partner Recovery Workbook

Written by Beth Denison, the 12-Week Partner Recovery Workbook is designed for women and men coping with the shock, grief, and confusion that often follow the discovery of a spouse’s sexual betrayal. Rather than treating betrayal as a simple relationship disagreement, the workbook recognizes that it can be deeply destabilizing. A betrayed spouse may feel overwhelmed, unsafe, uncertain about the future, and unsure how to process rapidly changing emotions.

The workbook provides a structured path through the early stages of healing. Topics include recognizing trauma, developing a personal safety plan, managing triggers, processing difficult emotions, establishing healthy boundaries, and understanding the role of forgiveness. Its twelve-week format gives readers manageable steps to work through rather than expecting them to solve every question at once.

Beth Denison brings both recovery-focused guidance and a Christian perspective to the subject. The workbook is intended to help readers move out of the initial fog of discovery and begin making thoughtful decisions grounded in truth, safety, and spiritual health.

Who may find this helpful? This resource is especially appropriate for a spouse who has recently discovered pornography use, an affair, or another form of sexual betrayal. It may also be useful alongside mentoring, pastoral support, or professional counseling. The workbook does not promise a quick fix or require an immediate decision about the future of the marriage. Instead, it gives the betrayed spouse a practical framework for regaining stability, identifying healthy boundaries, and beginning the healing process one step at a time.
