The discovery of an affair can be a devastating blow to your relationship and your overall mental health. Infidelity, whether sexual or emotional, can lead to intense feelings of shock, rage, hurt, disillusionment, and depression. These feelings are normal, and thoroughly processing them is the next best step you can take. We will help you understand the situation so you can make decisions regarding your relationship’s future with a clear head. For couples who wish to repair their marriage, we provide a structured path toward healing and reconciliation.
After you have both processed your emotions, we can take a closer look at how and why the affair happened. The unfaithful partner will give a full disclosure statement, express their remorse, and gain empathy for their partner. We will move past blaming and shaming and come to a rational understanding of the situation. This is also the time to make decisions about the relationship’s future, set boundaries to rebuild trust, and discuss how to talk to kids and others about the affair.
After an affair is revealed, the primary goal is for both partners to process their emotions and make sense of what just occurred. We provide emotional support and help both of you understand each other’s perspectives. We will guide you through bringing a formal end to the affair and help you address ambivalence about the relationship’s future. We can then discuss the recovery process and set a realistic timeline for healing.
At this stage, you have both made a commitment to your marriage. There is still much work to be done, but couples usually discover a new sense of peace and hope at this point in the process. We will help you develop a closer connection with each other as you continue to heal from emotional wounds. We will work toward forgiveness, renewal of quality couple time, and eventually, restoration of sex and intimacy. Our focus is on helping you strengthen your marital relationship to prevent relapse and recover your love for each other.
Recovering from an affair isn’t easy. But couples who are willing to put in the work to repair their relationship can still enjoy a healthy, fulfilling marriage.
