Our Philosophy
At Hope Redefined, we believe a Full Therapeutic Disclosure is not just a clinical process—it’s a sacred invitation from God to step into the light. What was once hidden in darkness is brought before Him, where truth replaces deception and confession opens the door to freedom. This is spiritual warfare, where the enemy loses ground, and God begins to rebuild what has been shattered. Like piecing together a broken puzzle, the fragments of truth are laid on the table so that honesty and transparency can form a new, stronger foundation.
We also recognize that professional training is an essential part of our support team, working hand-in-hand with our faith and beliefs. Skilled coaches bring expertise, compassion, and structure that help create a safe space for healing. Together, clinical knowledge and spiritual guidance empower couples to navigate this difficult process with wisdom and grace.
We believe God meets each person in this courageous space, redeeming what has been lost and cultivating a relationship rooted in truth, intimacy, and His restoring love.

Preparing for Full Therapeutic Disclosure: What to Expect and How to Prepare as a Partner
This process is designed to support you (the partner) emotionally, spiritually, and practically as you walk through the Full Therapeutic Disclosure (FTD). Below are the intentional steps you will take to prepare for the disclosure and move through it with strength and clarity.
1. Understand Your Why
Begin by reflecting on your reasons for choosing to engage in the disclosure process. Clarify your purpose and what you hope to gain, such as healing, clarity, or freedom. This foundational step helps ground your heart and mind in intention.
2. Support and Vetting of Poly & Disclosure Questions
Work with your support team (therapists, ministry leaders, trusted friends) to carefully consider the types of questions you want answered. Ensure that your questions are appropriate, constructive, and will foster healing rather than unnecessary pain.
3. Personal Self-Care and Planning (Before, During, & After) — Pack Your Bag
Create a self-care plan to protect your emotional and physical well-being throughout the process. Prepare practical items to bring to disclosure sessions (water, tissues, journal) and establish routines for rest, prayer, and support after sessions.
4. What to Expect and What is Acceptable
Learn about the structure and flow of the disclosure process. Understand what kinds of information will be shared, what boundaries exist around details, and what is acceptable behavior from both partners during the session.
5. Post-Disclosure Communication Plan
Work with your support team to create a plan for communicating after the disclosure. This might include when and how to talk, setting boundaries, and identifying resources for ongoing healing and counseling.
6. Boundaries
Define clear emotional, physical, and communication boundaries to protect your well-being throughout the disclosure and healing journey. Boundaries help create a safe environment where healing can happen.
