Affairs, whether brief or long term, can be profoundly difficult to navigate. Whether you are the one who had the affair, or the one who's partner did, there can be a roller coaster of emotions and unclarity. A steady supportive presence can help.
I've completed specialized training in the field of infidelity to better help the couples I work with rebuild trust. I use a Gottman Couples Therapy approach to this type of work.
Infidelity can come with a whirlwind of emotions and it can feel like there is no way to regain the trust that was lost. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore what has happened and how it has affected you. In my work with individuals who have experienced infidelity, I always begin by supporting people wherever they are at in their healing journey because I recognize that it can feel unsafe to trust again. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
Every relationship is unique and the process of recovering from infidelity also varies. Whether you are an individual seeking support as you process and work through the experience of betrayal or a couple looking for a framework to address the impacts of and underlying issues relating to infidelity - I may be able to help facilitate a space for healing.
The act of betrayal is complex. Recovery involves confession, mourning, and reconnecting. There are stages of deep pain and loss. We can also experience unknown triggers. I want to validate these emotions with you. Together, let us explore how we can rebuild the trust and safety with self and others.
