I'm so sorry that you experienced the betrayals that created the circumstances that brought you to this life path.

"I am so grateful to have had Sherri Courtney as my coach during the worst time of my life. I have benefited so much from her wisdom and support and now feel ready and empowered to move on to a better life. She is deeply compassionate and truly understands what you are going through, having been there herself. She goes out of her way to be available and helpful. Sherri also has the knowledge to help clients understand and heal from their crises, trauma, pain, and grief. She has infinite patience and is able to meet clients where they are at and move forward at a pace and in a way that is comfortable for them. I highly recommend her."

"Sherri has been there for me since the beginning, after I found out about my husband’s sexual addiction and how he’d been betraying me throughout our entire marriage of 26 years. She understood what I was going through since she’s also been betrayed in this same way. When I first met Sherri I felt overwhelmed, hopeless and depressed about life. Sherri was someone who I could talk to about this who understood what I was going through and she truly cared about me and my situation. I have had other coaches and counselors who were good, but the one thing that was missing with them was that they hadn’t actually lived through this. My other coaches and counselors often left me with a sense of disconnect due to that fact and I felt that they gave me bad advice at times, since they hadn’t experienced this. Sherri’s guidance and support was always spot on since she truly understood my situation. Sherri helped me gain the confidence to believe that I’ll be okay no matter what happens. She has helped me grow and given me tools so I can make it on my own if needed. I have so much more peace and confidence to face the future. It scares me to think about where I would be without Sherri’s help and support."

"Working with Sherri has been such a blessing to me these past 2 months. She is wise, nurturing, and so encouraging. She has helped me learn to trust my intuition and regain trust in myself again. She truly and genuinely cares about each individual she works with and is available and responsive whenever I've needed guidance. She shares hope, strength, and love regularly with her clients that helps us continue the journey into healing from betrayal trauma. I believe anyone would be so helped by having her on their support team."

"I have been coached by Sherri for over a year and have found her support an absolute lifeline while going through this most traumatic time of divorce and betrayal trauma after sexual addiction. Sherri is wise, patient, and understanding of this betrayal journey. Her depth of compassion and knowing, having walked the path, is so validating and comforting. I highly recommend working with Sherri as part of your healing journey. I really don't know what I would have done without her and the groups that she runs while going through this highly stressful and lonely time."

"The day I learned my husband was a sex addict, I felt like my entire world had just collapsed. It felt as though I was standing in the middle of a house, the walls and floor all crumbling around me. I was standing in a pile of wreckage and couldn’t begin to assess the damage and grief I was feeling. I felt hopeless. I found a team that would help me on my path to recovery from betrayal trauma, one of them being my coach, Sherri. Recovery from betrayal trauma is the hardest journey I have ever taken, but Sherri was right there with me every step of the way. She guided me with compassion and empathy. She is a wealth of resources and knowledge about betrayal trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. She is a rockstar when it comes to boundaries and self care. She helped me find my way out of the wreckage and make sense of the grief. With Sherri walking alongside me as my coach, I found a path to healing from one of the most devastating events of my life and I can’t thank her enough."

"Sherri has been the saving grace for me during the last 15 months of my life. I really don’t know what might have happened to me if I hadn’t found her to help me through the most difficult time in my life. Sherri is able to empathize with her clients because of her own experiences. It makes such a difference to be able to get support from someone that has actually experienced the heartache that you feel. I’ve had a few other coaches and counselors as well, and all of them have been great, but Sherri has definitely been the most important person that’s walked with me along this journey. All of her advice has been on the mark, and she is extremely knowledgable. She is wise and compassionate, and that combination has been a life saver for me."

Heather W., California

"Sherri has been my coach for several months now. As a coach she is attentive, caring and supportive. For the first time in my 7 year journey through betrayal trauma I feel I have found a safe place with Sherri. I believe she truly cares about her clients and their well-being. She is an empathetic listener who respects my thoughts and feelings. Through our work together she has equipped me with the tools I need to heal and has guided me towards a clear path for my healing. Each day I am regaining my confidence and my strength. I owe much of this to Sherri’s guidance and support. For this, I will be forever grateful."

In particular, she helped me understand aspects of my betrayal, trauma and the PTSD associated with the trauma. She is professional, very experienced, focused and able to provide you with the correct answers or tools for solving issues at the right moment. She's a patient listener and our sessions together were extremely helpful. Her thoughtful and objective guidance helped me regain my confidence at one of the lowest periods of my life. I highly recommend Sherri as a professional and effective coach."

"You are such an inspiration to me and I’m sure the rest of the ladies in the group! I do not know how I would have navigated the things I’ve come up against the past 16 months and reached the level of healing I am at now without you (nor my husband as you have also given a lot of time to help him with your insight and wisdom). I am so thankful for you…especially grateful for you continuing to give out to us when you were carrying and navigating so many things yourself."

"Saying Sherri is an absolutely amazing coach is an understatement. Her empathetic experienced nature, heartfelt care and concern has given me so much strength in the healing process from betrayal trauma caused by a thirty year marriage. She goes above and beyond the mark to help mend broken hearts by providing tools, techniques and a fresh view in changing a narrowed thought process. I truly am grateful for having the privilege of meeting such a genuine coach and confidant. In less than eight months, I have seen remarkable improvements in my healing, self confidence and a whole new motivation to pursue my own personal growth. Thank you so much, Sherri!!!

"Sherri Courtney has been an invaluable piece of my growth in the last two years. I love the way she creates safe spaces for people in her coaching groups. She already has a wealth of knowledge and life experiences that help her connect to those she works with, but she is also constantly learning new methods and techniques to add to her toolbox. I was in a dark place when I joined an online support group facilitated by Sherri, and I can honestly say that her guidance and support helped to transform my suffering into healing. One thing Sherri taught me that has been invaluable is to trust my gut...that my authentic self knows when something is wrong and that listening to it is in my best interest."

Dawn

Coaching Client

"Sherri is very knowledgeable in betrayal trauma and addiction and is kind, considerate, compassionate and validating. She’s easy to talk to and a good listener and can lead a group and encourage group participation. In a short time, she not only became my mentor but also my friend. Coaching opened the door for me to explore what betrayal trauma and sex addiction were and challenged me to seek healing for me. Before coaching with Sherri, I was feeling crazy and disoriented. I was avoiding being around others. I didn’t like me anymore. I had given up all the things I loved to do. I didn’t know what gaslighting was or how damaging it had become by the toll it’s taken on my health, or how to handle it. I thought I was going crazy. I struggled because of the lack of my partner’s ownership of his acting out and his lack of recovery. I suffered with PTSD. Through the years I lost my sense of self, my voice to stand up for myself, my feelings of being worthy of being a good wife and mom, my self-esteem, and my self-love. I was just about ready to give up on life. I learned a lot about gaslighting and how to address it. I learned about how to handle the triggers and nightmares. I learned I had rights and wrote them down. Coaching gave me confidence to communicate those rights to my husband and make and keep boundaries. I learned to find my voice and stand in my truth. Coaching with Sherri gave me hope and helped me see that I have life and love ahead of me. "

Karen

Coaching Client

"I cannot say enough about the positive impact Sherri has had on my life. Before I met her, I was struggling with bad advice from a marriage counselor and with a lack of boundaries after discovering my husband's pornography and sex addiction. Sherri connected me with resources and other women who supported my growth in the painful, heartbreaking recovery process. Sherri was empathetic, honest, encouraging, and on my side. I reached out to her during the worst moments and felt like I finally had someone who understood my pain. She also helped me process unresolved grief. I am incredibly grateful for the work I have done with Sherri."

Charity

"My coaching experience with Sherri made a phenomenal difference in my healing from betrayal trauma. Sherri is compassionate, supportive, and sincere. She offered practical recommendations to struggles I faced. She listened intently and with curiosity about my story and my experiences, and shared from her own experience at the right moments. I am so grateful that I was led to Sherri to coach me through betrayal and pain."

Meghan L.

Coaching Client

"I have been working with Sherri for a year and a half, and am so grateful our paths crossed. After finding out about my partner's sexual acting out I was heartbroken and lost, not knowing where to turn or how to "fix" it. Individual and couple's therapy was not really giving me the validation I didn't know I needed, or the tools to help me understand what was happening within myself or how to heal. Sherri has consistently been a source of that validation and knowledge. The healing is not quick, but it does not seem impossible now. I had no idea before Sherri that what I have gone through has caused trauma. Having someone who can help me understand some of the things I have gone through since the betrayal and not feel alone through it has been such a source of strength for me. Having Sherri in my corner has been invaluable; it has been easy to open up to her and I have never felt judged or ashamed when I do. She helps me see the things within me that I felt I lost a couple of years ago."

Susan L.

Coaching Client

"I have been in a group and have been coached by Sherri for about 16 months. She has made a profound difference in my journey, especially early on when I was in such a terrible state. I had such amazing support from her. She gets what betrayal trauma feels like and understands what is needed to heal. I have learned so much about good solid boundaries and just knowing that I will be ok no matter what happens in my marriage. Sherri doesn't ever tell you what to do but does help you process it so well. She is a great listener and is very capable of finding resources that are so helpful. She is very committed to her work and her kindness, compassion and love for me was very evident. I would highly encourage others to enter into coaching with Sherri to get to the next step in your healing journey as well as learning so much about betrayal trauma and what to expect."

Heather H.

Coaching Client

"My coach Sherri Courtney has been wonderful to me as I've been navigating the devastating effects of betrayal trauma. When I reach out to her she is wonderful and validating. She is kind with her words and understanding of what I am going through. If I have a question or would like some information about specific topics she responds quickly with wonderful articles, podcasts, or videos to help me understand or to again validate what I'm feeling. She has been wonderful about educating me about sex addiction, betrayal trauma, and the ugly feelings that go along with these things. She has helped me find my voice and is supportive and dedicated to helping me find my self love and confidence again. When I feel I have no fight left in me to keep going, her encouraging words help me dust myself off and keep moving forward on my healing journey. She has been such a blessing to me during all of this, and I can't thank her enough for her guidance and support during this very difficult time."

She has an amazing way of empathizing and also finding a positive spin all the time. Plus, she provides resources to help me (and my group) on a regular basis. She replies quickly to messages, and she really gets to know each of us and our issues. She has also been really supportive and encouraging. She goes above and beyond in so many ways! I honestly cannot say enough great things about her. It has been on my heart to share this. I personally have benefited greatly from her coaching."

"Who Sherri is, what she knows and her approach makes Sherri a rare gem. I know I would not have gotten from another coach what I have gotten from Sherri. Sherri is extremely knowledgeable in both betrayal trauma and addiction. Sherri is very balanced in her approach towards both the betrayed and the addict. She is very empathetic, but at the same time proactive in helping you move forward. You feel supported and genuinely cared for through her coaching. Sherri’s demeanour towards you (her client) is healing in and of itself. A huge thank you, Sherri, for who you are and what you have brought into my life. I thank God for you and I am eternally grateful for your presence in my life."

"Sherri has been amazing since the first day I met her. After going through infidelity with my previous partner, I found myself with feelings I had never experienced and a life that I would have never expected. She helped me navigate through that intense journey, and ALWAYS made sure I knew I had support. She kept me accountable and taught me tools for my own healing. The compassion and communication I received from Sherri has been invaluable. I felt very lost and alone, and knowing that someone was there to help remind me how lovable and valuable I am really helped me out of that."

S.L.

Coaching Client

"After experiencing betrayal trauma it was clear I needed tools and resources to understand, heal, and process my trauma. I was struggling to understand the depth of my husband's betrayal, and how to sort out the truth from the lies. I was struggling to put a name to my emotions and experiences. I was struggling to eat and sleep properly. I was waking up in the middle of the night, paralyzed by fear and emotion. I was struggling to focus. I was exhausted. My self confidence was so low before coaching, I would have been swept into more toxic relationship patterns rather than being able to stand firm in my values and boundaries. When I signed up for coaching, I didn't know what to expect. I just knew I needed help. Being a part of Sherri's coaching program, I found a group of women whose stories closely mirrored my own and I found a caring and compassionate coach who helped me with tools and resources specific to my situation and struggles. I was empowered and supported throughout my healing journey. Sherri helped me make sense of my husband's addiction and behavior. She also provided me with validation and tools to process my triggers and emotions. She provided a lot of guideance and education about trauma recovery and setting boundaries. Coaching has changed my life. I was given the gift of validation, education and compassion when I needed it the most. Having a support system gave me the courage to move forward with life on my terms."

"Sherri has been a great gift to me, helping me navigate some very turbulent waters in my life! I was looking for a way to work through some of the issues I was facing with betrayal trauma. I wanted a plan. I was being retraumatized continually by a partner who is unwilling to take responsibility.for his actions. I could never seem to heal and move forward. The most beneficial thing for me was the group coaching. It helped me to connect to others who are and have been experiencing the same things and it helps me to learn different tools to cope. The group interaction and Sherri's facilitation has helped me the most. I've been able to stop isolating myself so much and am able to take in new perspectives about what is going on in me and around me. The best value for me is in being seen and heard by people who get it. And seeing that healing can happen. I've learned that I am enough and that my husband's addiction was/is not about me and who I am or what I have or have not done. Without coaching my head would be buried in the sand still and I'd likely have had a nervous breakdown."

I thought I was crazy and that I would not make it through this. Coaching helped by explaining why I was feeling those certain symptoms and how to better manage them. Coaching helped me work through grief and anger. I’ve learned that I can feel better. I didn’t think there would be a time I didn’t feel the crushing pain of betrayal."

"Coaching with Sherri has been invaluable. I chose coaching to get support and advice for my betrayal trauma. I needed help regulating my emotions through the emotional rollercoaster that was my life. I felt emotionally distraught. Having someone to guide me through and validate those feelings helped me regulate. Having a knowledgeable coach who I felt cared and who listened and offered guidance and resources was very beneficial. Sherri has helped me re-build my strength and my confidence. Without Sherri's Coaching I would be much further behind in my healing, not as strong and not as empowered."

The weekly meetings bring me peace for the week and help ground me."

"Coaching with Sherri saved my life!!! I was being duped and deceived and it was taking me out. I know/love that you "get it" because of your experience with sexual betrayal in your life, so that makes the trust easy. I love your support, that you see me and you always validate my grieving and tell me that it is not just okay to feel whatever I am feeling, but needed to heal. You recognize the progress I have been making and tell me that you are proud of me. You point out things that I have done as a good even though I thought they were bad because I was doubting myself so badly and so often that I really didn't know which is which. You show me where I am thinking and talking unkindly to myself and how I can reframe those thoughts. You teach me to have compassion instead of being hard on myself. You teach me that this relationship REALLY was hard and left a lot of damage and that I can recover from it. You speak kind and gentle to me so I can hear your words. You meet me where I am on any given day. I don't get "in trouble" for not making linear progress. You get me to challenge my thinking. You keep me on track. Your example of recovery is easy to see, even though I am sure you still have to keep coaching yourself to stay in your healthy place. That gives me hope that I can be where you are someday and that my life will actually be different and maybe I can be happy again and live my life doing things that fulfill me. I finally see a light at the end of a long tunnel. Your coaching is priceless!"

"A Note for the Angel that is Sherri Courtney...I came to Sherri nearly a year ago in what had felt at the time as a day of rock bottom feeling confusion, whiplash, and heartbreak. After initially discovering my relationship's blind spot, I knew I needed support in order to truly thrive, not just survive, in the aftermath. The shock had revealed to me my own self's weaknesses and attachments as well that needed attention and care. I found Sherri from some diligent Google searching, and felt like it was worth a shot. I was willing at the time to try all kinds of healthy support. Some choices ended up being short-term solutions or quick fixes, yet a combination of Sherri's coaching and guidance ended up being the thing that stuck. I couldn't be more thankful to Sherri for her flexibility with me in the ebbs and flows of this past year, and her ability to speak truth into what I was feeling whenever I needed affirmation that what I was feeling was normal as someone with trauma. She truly was always only a text or call away, and it never felt like I hadn't ever met her in person due to her commitment to be there. I am eternally thankful to her and have since referred friends to her who (unsurprisingly, after realizing the statistics) are going through the same or similar things in their own relationships and self-identity. Because of Sherri walking through this year with me, I am not the same as I was before the betrayal discovery. Nor will I ever be the same. Instead, I think I am a more self-assured while vulnerable, boundary-oriented while unafraid woman than I was before. I'd recommend her to anyone going through heartbreak if they want to learn to rely more on themselves and a healthy network of support to not just make it through the other side of recovery, but set things into motion to have the tools to deal with other forms of heartbreak for the rest of their life."
