Webinar: When the Truth Comes Out
Join us this June for a Straight Spouse Webinar
When the truth comes out that your partner is gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or queer, life as you knew it is forever changed. You may feel a surge of emotions, including anger, despair, grief, and hopelessness. You’re in shock, and everything feels confusing and upside down. Even after the initial shock subsides, you may struggle to pick up the pieces of your life and find it difficult to imagine being able to put them back together in a way that makes sense. You may feel alone, trapped in silence, and unable to talk to anyone who gets it. Or you have a sea of voices telling you different things, leaving you more confused and conflicted than before.
About the Webinar
If you’re struggling to cope and need clarity to help you move through the early or even middle stages after discovery, this straight spouse webinar is for you. Even if you’re further along in the journey, you will feel validated and reassured that your experience matters, and you weren’t going crazy or over-reacting. This webinar will provide a supportive space where you can feel seen, validated, and understood. I will present an overview of:
- The emotional journey straight spouses often face
- Common patterns and challenges after a partner comes out
- Practical tools for navigating grief, identity shifts, and relationship transitions
- Strategies for rebuilding trust, confidence, and connection—with yourself and others.
About the Presenter
For those who don’t know me, I’m Karen, a fellow straight spouse who lives to tell the tale of survival and recovery! I also happen to be a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Straight Spouse Coach, Clinical Partner Specialist, and Deceptive Sexuality and Trauma Therapist. I understand straight spouse trauma from the inside out, and am looking forward to offering this webinar to help other straight spouses get a grip of what is true and real. Together, we will explore the emotional impact of a partner coming out and I will offer practical guidance for moving forward with clarity, self-compassion, and strength.
This webinar is hosted by the Straight Spouse Reddit group.
