TRAINING PROFESSIONALS TO HELP MEN HEAL FROM PARTNER BETRAYAL.
The first and only certification program focused entirely on the emotional healing of men after partner betrayal.
Become a Masculine Betrayal Trauma Therapist (MBTT) or Masculine Betrayal Trauma Coach (MBTC) and help change the way the world supports men navigating heart break.
Why This Training Exists
Men get cheated on too. They hurt, grieve, rage, and collapse under the weight of partner betrayal. But their pain often goes unseen, misdiagnosed as anger, minimized by social expectations, or entirely dismissed in therapeutic models built for someone else.
At The MBT Institute, we’ve created the Masculine Betrayal Trauma (MBT) Recovery Model, a pioneering framework that recognizes what betrayal does to a man’s ego, identity, and emotional world.
About Us
This model is grounded in the groundbreaking clinical work and personal experience of Adam Nisenson, LMFT, CSAT, author of A Man’s Guide to Partner Betrayal.
Along with Trevor Hardcastle, LMFT, an EMDR therapist, trainer, supervisor and EMDRIA consultant, who brings over 20 years of trauma-informed care and relational therapy to The MBT Institute.
