Finding a therapist who GETS Betrayal Trauma and doesn't betray me further

So with the help of this forum and with the help of Geoff Steuer's resources, I'm realizing that what I'm looking for in a therapist is help with the Betrayal Trauma that has resulted from my partner's hiding and lying about his porn use . That is it plain and simple.  If the therapist doesn't see porn use as problematic to a relationship - then I'm moving on and looking for another one.

I worked through a 12 step book and workbook series and participated in a few conference groups calls. The book was written by Douglass Weiss. It was really great. It helped me a lot. Lately, I have been feeling extremely triggered by recent visitors and have reopened my book and it was really helpful even now. I know everyone is different and we all find different things that work for each of us. I know this really helped me.

I did bloom for women which was co-made by Kevin Skinner and that was a huge turning point for me. He has a book as well that he recently published called healing from sexual betrayal trauma, it's on amazon on doesn't cost much, I highly recommend it.
On bloom, about being co-dependent, he said how can partners be co-dependent when they didn't even know the addiction existed, it's ridiculous and incredibly harmful.

Kevin Skinner also has a site for addicts called Addorecovery. My husband did his email recovery program, they send daily emails with things to do, I think it's about 70 days long and it's totally free.
