Surviving Betrayal is a powerful, compassionate guide for anyone shattered by betrayal, abandonment, or emotional abuse.
Written by LaDonna Carey, MA, this book offers a bold reframe of what healing truly requires—not forced forgiveness or rushed resolution, but deep personal reclamation.
Through clinical insights, survivor wisdom, trauma-informed strategies, and reflective exercises, readers are gently guided to rebuild their sense of self, reclaim their boundaries, and rewrite their future.
This is not a book about moving on—it’s about moving through, with your dignity, voice, and wholeness intact.
If you’ve ever questioned whether healing had to include forgiving the unforgivable, this is your permission slip to heal your way.
