Harboring Hope

Online Course For Betrayed Spouses.

Regardless of whether the unfaithful spouse is supportive, unsupportive, or gone, we want you to feel hope again. Whole again. Home again. Harboring Hope is specifically designed for betrayed spouses by professional counselors who are also betrayed spouses. We know the pain. We have been there. We want you to know that you are not alone, you are not crazy, and you are not destined to grieve forever. Harboring Hope can help you discover what you need to heal and help you find hope in your circumstance. We want to rebuild your confidence and give you room to thrive.

“The pain of infidelity is overwhelming and all-consuming. Harboring Hope is a gift. For me, Harboring Hope is people who truly understand my pain and what I'm living through. Without them, it feels as if I would have no hope.” - A, Armenia

“Harboring Hope gave me the structure I needed to be able to work through the darkest time in my life so far.” -R, Texas

How does the healing process look in my day-to-day life?

Each week, you’ll start by reading the workbook chapter and watching the lecture video of Leslie and John. As you read the chapter, you will complete homework exercises, some of which you will share during your small group call. In addition, during your 13 week course you’ll be able to submit questions to Leslie Hardie, LCSW and John Haney, PhD, LPC, the authors of Harboring Hope. Each month, we film their answers during a Q&A session and post them for you to watch online. You’ll also gain access to a library of past Harboring Hope Q&A sessions. Please estimate 3-4 hours per week to complete your coursework.

I don't reside in the United States, can I still participate?

Yes, you can participate! People from all around the world have participated in Harboring Hope and are now thriving from the experience. Our Group Leaders are worldwide as well. The weekly conference call will NOT be a toll free number. It is a USA landline number and your calling plan rates will apply. If you are calling from outside the U.S. and do not have an applicable International calling plan, we suggest you use a VoIP system (i.e. Skype, Vonage, etc.). Purchasing VoIP credit is typically much less expensive than calling rates.

How soon will I be placed in a group and start the course after the registration deadline?

Typically, groups start about two weeks from the first day of open registration. However, you will immediately have access to your course materials and all of the Recovery Library resources while your group is being scheduled.

Do I have to come from a place of faith to participate?

You do not have to come from a place of faith to participate in Harboring Hope. Harboring Hope is a faith based program, however, we’ve had hundreds of people who are not Christian greatly benefit from the course. Many have found it helpful to replace references to God with a word that works for them such as “love” or “higher power”.

Does it matter how long I’ve known about the infidelity?

No, the course is proven helpful to those who discovered the infidelity recently, and also those who have been struggling with it for years. What is most important in a betrayed spouse’s recovery journey is that they seek expert care to address the specific aftermath of infidelity. Harboring Hope offers you expert curriculum and a supportive community to begin and continue your healing.

Who are the Group Leaders?

Group Leaders are carefully selected. Almost all of our Group Leaders are alumni of Affair Recovery’s programs who are several years out. After experiencing incredible healing themselves, they feel a calling to help others who are where they once were. They have the compassion, desire, and talent that’s required to lead groups through this process. Our Group Leaders have more than just book-knowledge because they’ve personally experienced infidelity. They don’t just have sympathy; they have real empathy. We’ve found that people who have walked this path before and who have completed our Group Leader training program are able to provide incredible support, leadership, and encouragement during this difficult time. They are a light to others in darkness.

What can I expect out of the weekly group phone calls?

You will attend a call each week for about an hour and a half with others of the same gender also seeking healing from infidelity. You will have a group leader who will facilitate conversation around the weekly curriculum and questions. Your group leader is there to provide an open and safe space to truly come as you are without shame or judgement so that you can share what you are learning throughout the 13-week course. Your group leader will not function as a therapist or counselor but a person that provides safety, encouragement, and structure..

All of a sudden, I heard my story through their mouths. The same hurt, anger and frustrations were all expressed by these men. I'm so thankful for not only Harboring Hope, but for the other men that were able to work with me through our betrayal. I wasn't alone in my pain, these men were here to support me and mourn with me. Thanks for bringing hope back into my life.” -J, Arkansas
