Formal Therapeutic Disclosure (FTD)~Lead by a Certified Disclosure Guide
When a relationship is shaken by sexual betrayal, the betrayed partner has a crucial need for safety and rigorous honesty, which we call the “Right of Truth.”
​
It is the healthiest way forward. in which an individual shares important, difficult truths with their partner, within a safe and guided therapeutic setting. This process is designed to foster honesty, rebuild trust, and support emotional healing for both partners. Unlike spontaneous or fragmented disclosures, a formal disclosure is carefully planned and facilitated by a trained Certified Disclosure Guide Professional.
​
Staggered confessions, half truths wrapped in lies, incomplete disclosures, or ongoing deception only deepen the trauma, producing even more significantly devastating woundings, and delays healing.
​
Our Certified Disclosure Guides provide structured support to help individuals and couples move through the Disclosure Process with rigorous honesty, clarity, and compassionate care.
​
Unlike traditional therapy, Disclosure Guidance with a Certified Professional Disclosure Guide, focuses specifically on the preparation, structure, and delivery of a Full Therapeutic Disclosure-ensuring both the disclosing partner and the betrayed partner are supported, informed, and emotionally safe throughout the process.
​
You don’t have to face this alone. With the right guidance, rigorous honesty and full truth-telling can become the foundation for real healing and restoration.
What is a Formal Therapeutic Disclosure (FTD)?
A Guided Process Toward Truth, Healing, and Rebuilding Trust.
​
*A Formal Therapeutic Disclosure (FTD) is a professionally guided, structured process lead by trained coaches or clinicians. It is designed specifically for couples whose relationships have been impacted by compulsive sexual behavior. Unlike spontaneous or emotional confessions, a formal disclosure is intentional, thorough, and conducted in a safe, supportive therapeutic setting.
​
The purpose of FTD is to begin rebuilding trust through full transparency. It is a commitment to truth-telling and personal accountability~one that honors both individuals and creates a foundation for recovery. The partner engaging in the compulsive behaviors works closely with a coach or clinician to prepare a detailed and honest sexual history. The betrayed partner is also supported through therapeutic sessions to create safety, healthy boundaries, and to prepare emotionally for receiving this information, ensuring that the process is respectful and stabilizing as possible.
​
This process is different from a personal disclosure, which often happens in the heat of the moment, lacks structure, safety, and typically omit significant details. These unstructured disclosures may leave the betrayed partner with partial truths, confusion, deeper woundings, and additional trauma. Worse yet, many couples experience what are known as
“Drip Disclosures” which is the slow release of bits and pieces of truth, often wrapped in lies or half-truths. These damaging incremental revelations cause the betrayed partner prolonged pain, increase woundings and trauma, and erode trust even further.
​
A Formal Therapeutic Disclosure helps prevent this by creating a safe container for the full truth to be shared at once, reducing the repeated emotional injuries. For the person disclosing, the process supports a return to integrity and alignment with personal values. For the betrayed partner, it offers clarity and empowerment, providing the footing needed to make informed decisions about their healing journey.
​
As professional disclosure guides, we are committed to leading this process with the highest level of compassionate care, integrity and accountability. Every step of the journey is broken down into manageable parts, with both individuals supported form start to finish “Rooted In Grace, Rising In Truth.” By the time you arrive at Disclosure Day, you’ll be ready…whether to speak or receive your “Right of Truth”
​
At its core, a FTD is not just about telling the TRUTH; it’s about creating the conditions where healing, trust, and reconnection become truly possible.
​
This process involves:
​
Preparation: Both individuals work separately with their therapist to prepare emotionally and practically for the disclosure. The person disclosing is supported in writing a detailed, factual account, while the partner is prepared to receive this information in a supportive, contained environment.
​
Facilitated Session: The disclosure takes place during a joint therapy session with both partners and their respective therapists/coach present. This setting helps ensure safety, emotional regulation, and therapeutic support throughout the process.
​
Aftercare and Support: Follow-up sessions are essential to help both partners process the disclosure, manage emotional responses, and begin the path toward healing, whether through continued couples therapy or individual work.
The goal of a FTD is not only to reveal the truth, but also to create a foundation for transparency, accountability, and eventual repair in the relationship.
