The True Hero Stands In The Shadow Of The Betrayer
Over the past several weeks and months, numerous prominent politicians along with TV stars and sports heroes have made headline news with their affairs, lies, and scandals. While the media, the fans, and the supporters cannot seem to get enough of the tawdry details of the betrayers, the spotlight is rarely on the individuals striving to re-secure their truths and rebuild their lives. The true heroes are left standing in the shadows of their betrayers.

Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering The Peace Within, www.LovingHealing.com , is a newly released book designed specifically for those who have been betrayed. The sole purpose of the book is focus attention on the damaging effects of betrayal on the betrayed and on recovery from them. Whether it is a violation of trust in a relationship, fraud within a business deal, or misuse of power from an institution or organization, it is time for victims to reclaim their voice and reinstate their self-respect.

Holli Kenley, M.A., Marriage and Family Therapist, www.hollikenley.com, is a betrayal recovering expert. Holli is an experienced counselor in the areas of abuse, trauma, addiction, grief, and betrayal issues. With the publication of Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering The Peace Within, those injured need not hold their decisions hostage to or make their healing contingent upon the words or actions of their betrayer. Breaking Through Betrayal returns the attention to the rightful recipient. By providing victims with tools and strategies for recovering, each individual is empowered to make choices based on personal levels of healing.

Wednesday, December 9, 2009, on ABC's 20/20, first lady Jenny Sanford told Barbara Walters of her betrayal by her husband, "Certainly his actions hurt me, and they caused consequences for me, but they don't in any way take away my own self-esteem. They reflect poorly on him." After Governor Mark Sanford clearly dismissed the first lady's expectations for reconciliation, Jenny Sanford moved out of their home and filed for divorce. How can other victims of betrayal get to a position of strength and confidence? How is it possible to separate the betrayer's actions from one's sense of worth?

Breaking Through Betrayal addresses these issues and others while providing a roadmap for recovering. According to Beth Hedva, Ph.D., author of award-winning Betrayal, Trust, and Forgiveness, Holli's book is "useful for anyone caught in self-blame, shame or repeated victimization...this empowering 'in-control' approach can help readers take charge, assess injury, gage healing and find excellent strategies to protect themselves from future trauma when relating to one's betrayer."
