I Left Heart to Heart More Traumatized
My experience at Heart to Heart Counseling Center was incredibly damaging. I attended a 4-day intensive with my spouse for sex addiction recovery, costing over $4,000. Instead of finding a safe environment to heal from betrayal trauma, I was subjected to a male therapist who repeatedly sided with my spouse and shamed me.When I expressed that I was too traumatized to comply with a weekly sex plan, the counselor berated and attacked me for "not trusting their process." He sarcastically dismissed my trauma, saying they "had been doing this for years." I left the intensive completely broken, crying, and feeling far more traumatized than when I arrived. The counselor's only solution to my immense distress was to leave the room and have me hit a foam block with a padded bat. It was an absolute waste of time and money.To make matters worse, I reached out to administration to file a formal complaint about this therapist's behavior, and Doug Weiss never responded. This center does not understand or safely care for the traumatized spouse. Save your money and protect your mental health by going somewhere else.
