Sex Addiction & Betrayal Trauma Program
Our sex addiction & betrayal trauma program is built for two people at once: the person working to leave sexual or pornography addiction behind, and the partner carrying the wound of betrayal. Wherever you’re starting from, you don’t have to do this alone, and you don’t have to feel ashamed to ask for help.
One program, two paths to healing
Sex addiction, pornography addiction, and betrayal trauma rarely affect just one person. Our LIFT Program holds space for both sides of that story, with separate, dedicated care for each.
When sexual addiction enters a relationship, it leaves two people hurting in very different ways. The person in recovery often feels trapped in cycles of shame, secrecy, and broken promises. The betrayed partner is left questioning what was real and how to feel safe again. Both experiences are valid, and both deserve real care.
That’s the idea behind the LIFT Program. We treat sex addiction, pornography addiction, and betrayal trauma as connected but distinct, so neither person gets lost in the other’s process. You’ll each have your own space to be honest, to grieve, and to rebuild.
For the person in recovery
If pornography or compulsive sexual behavior has taken more from your life than you ever meant to give, you can stop fighting it alone. We don’t weaponize your shame to change your behavior. Instead, we help you build the tools for real, lasting change, so you can live the life you actually want.
For the betrayed partner
Betrayal trauma is widely misunderstood, but at Therapy Utah we understand it. Your reactions aren’t an overreaction, and they aren’t a character flaw. We give you a safe, supportive space to heal, to learn, and to remember who you are, at your own pace.
How the LIFT Program works
LIFT combines the steadiness of a therapy community with the depth of one-on-one work, so you’re never carrying recovery by yourself.
Start with an intake
You’ll meet with one of our therapists to talk through what’s been happening, what you’re hoping for, and which part of the program fits where you are right now.
Find your group
We run a dedicated sexual addiction group and a betrayal trauma group, so you’re surrounded by people who genuinely understand what you’re walking through.
Go deeper individually
Alongside group, individual sessions let you work on the personal patterns, history, and relationships underneath the addiction or the betrayal.
Build lasting change
Over time, the goal isn’t just stopping a behavior or surviving the pain. It’s rebuilding trust, identity, and a life that feels like yours again.
A shame-free place to start
You may have been told that the only way to change is to feel worse about yourself. We don’t believe that, and we don’t practice that way.
- Care led by therapists trained in sex addiction and betrayal trauma, including CSAT-certified clinicians
- Separate, dedicated support for the person in recovery and the betrayed partner
- A combination of group community and individual therapy
- A faith-sensitive, judgment-free space where your story is held with respect
- A clear next step whether you’re ready for group, individual work, or just a first conversation
Whatever brought you here, recovery and healing are possible, and they’re possible for both of you. If you’re still figuring out where you fit, our broader therapy services can help you find the right starting point.
Is this program for the addict, the partner, or both?
Both. The LIFT Program is designed to support the person recovering from sex or pornography addiction and the partner experiencing betrayal trauma, with separate, dedicated care for each so neither experience gets minimized.
What is the LIFT Program?
LIFT is our specialized approach to treating sex addiction, pornography addiction, and betrayal trauma. It blends a supportive therapy group community with individual sessions, so you get both connection and personalized care.
Do I have to join a group, or can I start with individual therapy?
You can start where you’re comfortable. Many people benefit from combining group and individual work, but your intake conversation will help you choose the path that fits where you are right now.
Will I be judged or shamed for what I share?
No. We don’t use shame as a tool to change behavior. Our therapists offer a safe, compassionate space where you can be honest and begin to heal without fear of judgment.
