Infidelity is most often acting out sexually. But, any activity that is hidden to one's partner is experienced as a betrayal of trust. Emotion Focused Couples Therapy is, in my experience, the best way to resolve these trust issues in a relationship.
Therapist, MSW, Registered Clinical Social Work Intern
I offer a safe, healing place to begin work around issues with infidelity. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Infidelity can be almost crippling to some couples, and extremely difficult to overcome no matter how much you love the person you’re with. And almost every time there needs to be someone there to assist both of you through this process, and try to figure out where the breakdown happened in the relationship so that it doesn’t happen. It’s really difficult to forgive but also important, and that doesn’t mean looking the other way and pretending it didn’t happen, it takes true healing to trust again.
Infidelity can be devastating for the spouse, the client and the family. But it doesn't have to define a person or blow up a relationship. As a matter of fact I have worked with hundreds of couples that actually have come out much better after healing from an infidelity. Because it brings to life problems that were never unearthed, or never discussed.
