Description

A couple comes to see you. One partner devastated, shattered and betrayed. The other ashamed, defensive, or highly conflicted. Sessions are  filled with grief, rage, confusion. And you feel pressure to fix something fast that cannot be fixed quickly.

Helping couples navigate the aftermath of infidelity can be challenging work for even the most experienced therapists. It’s rife with anger, distrust, betrayal, guilt, shame, and deep emotional pain. In the face of these intense emotions, therapists need to quickly organize a deluge of conflicting information and narratives into a coherent plan for healing and reconnecting.
