Infidelity has a huge impact on a marriage. The person who had the affair wants things to be less volatile and may wish to work on the marriage. Their partner may have a great deal of insecurity and hurt. Trust is shattered and communication is often emotional and difficult. In counseling, a couple can learn from past mistakes, heal, and move forward together in a positive and rejuvenated relationship. Healing takes time but is possible.
The emotional fallout after the discovery of an affair can be a terrible roller coaster ride of mixed emotions such as hurt, anger, fear, confusion, and more.
Sometimes couples come to therapy feeling unsure that they even want to stay together.
With counseling, stability, healing, and sound decision making are possible. Please feel free to contact me to discuss how I would approach your specific issues.
