Infidelity Recovery
Infidelity has a devastating effect on relationships.
This is because emotional safety and trust are the foundation of a secure bond. When a betrayal occurs, this security is shattered, leading couples to question the relationship and its ability to survive.
Infidelity can include emotional and physical “cheating”, internet affairs, pornography addiction, and sexual deception.
While the impact is profound, there is hope for healing from betrayal. Rebuilding trust is challenging but possible. Many couples move forward to create a fulfilling relationship with restored trust, love, authentic connection and intimacy.
Treatment
In treating infidelity, we provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere which balances acceptance and support of both partners with necessary accountability. To stabilize the crisis, the betraying partner must first learn to take responsibility, convey transparency, and start to display trust-building behaviors. The betraying partner may also benefit from an empathy workshop. The betrayed spouse must be open to working toward recognizing meaningful repair attempts, processing wounds, and exploring couple dynamics. Betrayed partners may also benefit from a betrayal recovery group.
