From Dr. Kathy Nickerson, the acclaimed author of the award-winning The Courage to Stay, comes a transformative workbook designed specifically to help betrayed partners heal from the devastation of infidelity.

Betrayal leaves you feeling shocked, scared, and overwhelmed. In a split second, your world is shattered, trust is destroyed, and everything you thought you knew has turned upside down. The Courage to Stay Journal offers a compassionate, evidence-based path through this pain toward safety, peace and reconnection.

In her first book, The Courage to Stay, Dr. Kathy introduced a revolutionary framework for couples who want to heal from an affair together. Now, she extends her guidance to hurt partners through an interactive journal, thoughtfully designed to help them navigate the complex thoughts and emotions of betrayal recovery and post-infidelity stress disorder.

Each chapter of The Courage to Stay Journal begins with a compassionate essay offering understanding, hope, and coping strategies, followed by 10 guided journal prompts to help you process your feelings, release pain, and find relief. Filled with inspiring quotes from affair survivors and motivational recovery stories, this workbook draws on Dr. Kathy's clinical expertise, personal experience with betrayal, and proven therapeutic approaches like CBT, trauma recovery, attachment theory, and more, across 10 comprehensive chapters designed to guide you through healing and growth.

With The Courage to Stay Journal, you’ll discover how to:
  • Overcome overwhelm and hopelessness, so you can cope with painful emotions.
  • Challenge self-doubt and negative beliefs, allowing you to rebuild your self-confidence.
  • Work through your rage and anger, enabling you to guide it into healthy, constructive outlets.
  • Calm your triggers and fears, allowing you to go through your day in peace.
  • Overcome obsessive and intrusive thoughts, helping you stop constantly revisiting the pain.
  • Defeat depression and sadness, allowing you to feel like yourself again.
  • Grow through grief, so you can develop more resilience and self-compassion.
  • Accept what you cannot forgive, because forgiveness is complicated.

If you’re ready to find hope and rebuild after betrayal, The Courage to Stay Journal will guide toward healing and lasting happiness.

“Having counseled couples for over 30 years, I have witnessed firsthand the profound pain and turmoil that an affair can bring. Dr. Kathy has crafted an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind resource for betrayed partners seeking to navigate this devastation with courage and resilience. Her workbook is a masterful blend of compassionate guidance and practical tools."
– Cindy M. Fazendin, LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“As a therapist who has worked on relationship issues with clients for decades, I found this workbook for betrayed partners to be the best I have ever read. This is a clear blueprint to guide you to a better understanding and potentially a better, stronger relationship than before the affair.”
-Shirley Furman, MFT, PMHNP, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

“Dr. Kathy has an extraordinary gift for blending scientific rigor with heartfelt wisdom, crafting a resource that is as engaging as it is transformative. Her unique ability to speak to both the mind and the heart ensures that readers feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.”
– Dustan Drake, Certified Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner and Trainer

“The Courage to Stay Journal is a powerful and healing guide for anyone seeking to transcend the pain of betrayal. As a clinician who understands the devastation of infidelity, I am moved by the depth of empathy and wisdom woven into every page.”
— Laura Bennett, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very important book for anyone going thru the heartache of infidelity.

    Dr Kathy is amazing. She shows empathy, compassion and understanding in ways I didn't know was possible. She understands that people have invested so much in marriages and shows ways to heal the relationship (if the wayward spouse is willing to do the work) This workbook really makes you think and figure out what you are feeling and how to express it. It is better than any therapy I've had. Dr Kathy truly is a Godsend and this workbook is going to be such a healer and friend to those who are hurting.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful Workbook!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025
    Dr. Kathy has compiled a wonderful, detailed workbook to help betrayed partners navigate the difficult healing process. She shares stories and then helps the reader dive into the endless emotions one experiences.

    Dr. Kathy ‘s work is incredibly helpful because she has been a couples’ therapist for years and she understands the roller coaster of emotions and trauma that betrayed partners experience.

    I would also recommend that readers get the book and watch her on her social media channels.

    I highly recommend her work!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2024
    As a betrayed spouse who has successfully recovered and rebuilt a marriage blown up by an affair it is crucial to work through the pain and devastation betrayal causes. There are not many resources to help guide you, especially if you want to try and save your marriage! I highly recommend this workbook and the material created by Kathy. It has helped me tremendously. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time, but take from me post three years from D-Day. There is hope and it is possible to restore your marriage!
