The MBT Institute Certification Programs

Rewriting the rules of trauma recovery, for the men who’ve been left behind

The MBTT and MBTC certifications were created to fill a massive void in partner betrayal trauma education.

 

Most betrayal models were built for female clients. But men experience betrayal too, often through a different lens: ego injury, masculine shame, withdrawal, rage, silence, and identity collapse.

​

This program gives you the tools, strategies, and clinical depth to truly serve betrayed male clients, without minimizing, pathologizing, or feminizing their pain.
