This book changed my life.
Thank you Dr. Hedva. Your book changed my life! I had been trying to recover from a betrayal. Not a little betrayal but a life transforming betrayal. The kind of betrayal that you remember the rest of your life, that rocks your world and makes you question everything, most of all yourself. After a year of seeing a therapist and going thru the process of shock, crying, grieving, guilt, anger and depression, I still didn't feel like I was "myself". Then despair started to set in because I became afraid that the heartbreak was too big for me to heal.
One afternoon, while waiting in the dentist's office, I picked up a newspaper with a review of Dr. Hedva's book. The review was positive and the quotes resonated. Later that day I bought the book and couldn't put it down until I finished it. For the first time, I felt that someone really understood my pain. And most important in that moment, it gave me a sense of hope for a full recovery. The book reframed the experience to help me see it as part of my spiritual journey, a valuable lesson to help me become stronger, wiser, and better able to forgive others and myself.
Betrayal, Trust and Forgiveness addresses all types of betrayals (lover, mother, father, body, self and society.) It is not a "help the victim feel good" book. It is reader-friendly, clear, and direct, providing practical tools and exercises to help the reader understand and move forward.
If you have been searching for a way to heal a betrayal, you are not alone. This book is a powerful resource that can help. It was the answer to my prayers.

Radical Therapy
Emotional darkness, the nightmare of betrayal... are
these fodder for the psyche? According to Dr. Hedva,
the stage is set for a sacred initiation, moving from
one cycle of personal evolution to the next. A strong,
heart-centered case is made for the radical
transformation that moving through the experience
of betrayal can trigger. A shocking, yet spiritually empowering argument
is put forward, defining the stages of both pain and
growth that the process of granting forgiveness
engenders.
Many aspects of betrayal are addressed. All the
significant relationship dynamics are explored,
leaving no doubt that the author knows what she's
talking about. Also, the tender area of self-betrayal
is probed, but leaving us feeling that hope and
regeneration are indeed possible.
We are guided through the death of innocence to
the rebirth of vitality and full aliveness. Using the
exercises provided, one may find that a
compassionate spirit has laid a stable path for
us to follow.

In Depth Healing
This is an excellent treatise on the spiritual meaning of
betrayal. I was very impressed with the counseling techniques
in this volume and the real understanding of the heart-
breaking experience of being betrayed. Rather than being
another "boo-hoo, I'm such a victim" sympathy book, the
author encourages us to take personal, spiritual
responsibility for our experience. A variety of archetypal
symbols are addressed that give deep insights into a much
fuller meaning of betrayal as initiation. A truly healing
discourse. Similar Products
