A Personal Note of Thanks from Dr. Jake...
Dear APSATS Community,
What an incredible honor it is to join you here at the APSATS Conference in Dallas—not only as a fellow traveler in the work of relational healing, but also as a member of the Board of Directors and this year’s closing keynote speaker.
APSATS holds a unique and vital place in the field of trauma-informed care for betrayed partners. I am continually inspired by the depth of wisdom, compassion, and courage that emanates from this community—clinicians, coaches, and clients alike. Your commitment to just treatment for betrayed partners and ongoing learning is what makes this work both powerful and sacred.
As a small token of my deep appreciation, I’d love to gift you two resources I believe will support your work—whether you’re a professional or a person on the journey of healing:
A free digital copy of my book: “Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: The Couple-Centered Recovery® Model for Lasting Connection After Betrayal” — where I outline the foundations of the Couple–Centered Recovery® Model and how couples can move from trauma toward transformation. Even if you grabbed a physical copy at the conference, feel free to also get this electronic version so you can pass it along to others in need.
A complimentary Phases of Healing Assessment for Couples — a guided tool to help couples identify where they are in the healing process and what they may need next. The full assessment is less than 20 questions and can help you orient yourself to where you are in your healing journey.
Whether you’re here as a provider, a partner, or both, I hope these offerings encourage and equip you on your continued path. Thank you for the honor of walking this road together.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Free E-Book: BREAKING BARRIERS BUILDING BRIDGES

Free Phases of Healing Assessment for Couples
The Couple-Centered Recovery® Phases of Healing Assessment is an 18-question tool designed to help couples healing from betrayal trauma identify where they are in the recovery process. Grounded in the three phases of the Couple-Centered Recovery® Model — Safety & Stability, Grieving Together, and Revisioning the Relationship — this research-informed assessment offers insights into your relationship’s progress and highlights specific areas that may need more focus. Each partner completes their own set of questions, and your individual results can then be compared to give a clear picture of your shared recovery experience. Whether you’re just starting or well along the path, this tool will help you take your next step with clarity and intention.
