What is Hope Rising

Hear from those who are proof that healing is possible

Since 2018, Hope Rising has been a gathering for betrayed spouses: a place to hear from experts who specialize in betrayal trauma and from survivors who have walked this road a little further than you have. Year after year, attendees tell us the same thing. For the first time in a long time, they felt less alone.

Our speakers are mindful of the sensitivity of people in trauma, of the different experiences of men and women, of people in different places in their relationship, and of attendees from every faith background and none.

What past attendees say

It gave me hope. The name chosen for the conference is perfect.

Your speakers provide so much hope and understanding toward the pain. It makes those who have been betrayed feel heard and not alone.

This is the first time I have ever talked to other betrayed women or listened to talks specifically for the betrayed. It made me realize that what I am feeling and going through is "typical" for the betrayed. I finally didn't feel like I was crazy or overreacting, and my feelings were validated.

The perspective from all the speakers brought new insight into my thought-life and where I need to focus my hope.

The three reminders that I took away from the morning have stuck with me: 1. I can't control the actions of another person, 2. I have to be safe, and 3. Clarity is worth seeking.

The speakers were all wonderful. The material was very informative. I would not wish the reason we all were there on my worst enemy, but it was nice to not feel like I am the only person in the boat.

I feel armed up in strength and solutions to go forward where I have felt stuck.
