Affair Recovery Counseling

Increase your chances of staying together
We can help you navigate the storm of an affair.

 Infidelity in a relationship is deeply challenging and brings a range of complicated emotions, including guilt and pain. However, it’s important to remember that cheating doesn’t necessarily mean the end of  your relationship. Many couples are able to rebuild a stronger, more intimate bond.

The key to navigating this difficult journey is communication. Open and honest dialogue helps in understanding each other’s feelings and the underlying issues that may have led to the infidelity. It’s a difficult process that involves both expressing and listening to the hurt, fears, and expectations on both sides.

Professional guidance plays a vital role in this healing process. Couples counseling can offer support as you navigate rebuilding trust and emotional intimacy. During these sessions you will begin to  understand the impact of the infidelity. Your therapist will guide you in moving past the blame, and toward forgiveness. 

Forgiveness and healing take time. Our goal is to help you reach a place of  restoration and renewed commitment.

Understanding Infidelity is Crucial

 Research shows that lack of emotional connection and intimacy is a leading cause of infidelity.

Self-reflection is crucial in understanding personal motivations behind infidelity. It’s about delving into one’s emotions, recognizing underlying issues, and acknowledging the impact on the relationship. Our therapist emphasize the importance of comprehending the context behind the affair, moving beyond the act to its underlying causes.

How you both handle the immediate aftermath of infidelity will decide if your relationship survives. There is a strong urge to get even, fight, and avoid. However, with the support of affair recovery counseling, you can avoid some of these pitfalls. Together, you can turn things around in a quick and effective way.

Additionally, here is a list of actions that could save your relationship:

  • Be willing to be very honest and transparent
  • Take care of yourself. This includes prioritizing your sleep, nutrition, exercise, spiritual practice, and social life
  • Be willing to forgive yourself and your partner
  • Understand your part in the betrayal, and how did you get here
  • Stay focused. Don’t avoid the pain, keep your feet in the fire
