The most devastating betrayal of trust has occurred in your relationship.
You never expected this to happen, yet here you are, looking at affair counseling.
Affairs are messy. They are likely the one thing you said would be a relationship deal breaker. Now, your whole world feels like it has been turned upside down.
Everything seems like a question, nothing seems certain, and you have no idea where to begin. Do you tell everyone? No one at all? Do you fight with your partner or shut down and avoid them at all cost? Do you go to affair counseling?
You might even be questioning if it is even possible to stay together. Sure, you might feel doubtful about your own sanity for even considering that option. You might not even be totally certain you could trust your partner again, even if you wanted to.
Many relationships continue successfully and are even stronger after an affair.
Yours can absolutely be one of them with affair counseling.
This does not have to be the end of your relationship.
Affair counseling can help you find your grounding again. Working on your relationship after an affair can give you and your partner ways to communicate about the betrayal, learn tools to help with triggers and ensuing arguments, and help you build an even closer bond with each other.
Couples counseling for affairs can help you address all of the parts you’re feeling – the hurt from the betrayal, the sadness and loss from changing your relationship dynamics, the guilt and shame from the participating partner, the anger from the hurt partner, the hope that you might make it through, and the “craziness” you feel for even considering that as an option.
Affair counseling can help you make sense of everything that has been turned upside down. It gives you the opportunity to create a new relationship moving forward, or end the relationship with peace and certainty.
Seeking counseling for an affair can support you both in figuring out what is best for your relationship. From deciding with whom and what you share, to defining new boundaries and exercises to build trust, you can build a relationship you both feel fully secure in.
What can you expect from affair counseling?
Depending on when the infidelity was discovered, we will first work to establish some normalcy back into your routines. This is NOT sweeping your hurt under the rug. This is helping you get by with the day-to-day things that need to be taken care of, like your work and life responsibilities.
Then we will work to address the emotional upheaval that both of you are experiencing. Depending on your relationship this may require a few individual sessions to give you space to be heard and validated on your own. This includes discussing apologies and what is needed to move forward.
We will examine what happened to cause the infidelity to occur and work to find meaning and understanding that can help strengthen your relationship and protect it from future betrayals. We will also implement boundaries and different routines to begin rebuilding trust.
Couples often report experiencing a deeper understanding of each other and a connection they’ve never experienced before after engaging in affair counseling.
While that may seem distant, terrifying, or unwanted right now, you wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t questioning the possibility.
Let affair counseling guide you through the process and reach a place of healing.
