Infidelity

Considering infidelity creates distress.

Life with your partner is progressing, but thoughts of indiscretion have started appearing.

These thoughts are uncomfortable ideas, ones to keep secret, buried, and never spoken of again.

But they also bring missed energy and hope for excitement.

There is conflict, distress, and confusion about what to do.

The thoughts worsen, making you obsess about the potential indiscretion.

An affair is underway and hidden.

The affair creates a rush of energy, excitement, and discovery of something long lost. At the same time, involvement in an affair comes at the cost of destroying your life – creating an emotional upheaval and a sense that you have violated a sacred trust.

The secrecy, lies, and manipulation devour you, compounding your internal struggle and pain. You’ve betrayed your partner, your friends, and yourself.

You’ve entered a new sort of hell, and the secrecy is deep, dark, and terrible.

Once exposed, things get worse.

The infidelity becomes exposed, and the traumatic consequences of the relationship are wreaking havoc everywhere.

The cheating has torn apart the relationship with your partner. Simultaneously, the chaos and damage have changed your relationship with your affair partner.

The impact of the indiscretion has rippled through your family, friends, and community, creating waves of destruction and change.

Trauma abounds, creating depression and anxiety for you and those around you. It’s hard to imagine how trust and forgiveness can become attainable again.

Therapy helps make sense of infidelity.

Whatever stage of an affair you find yourself in, there is hope, empathy, and understanding. You no longer need to suffer loneliness and isolation due to this experience.

Recovering from infidelity takes time. Sometimes partners can rebuild their relationship. Some may decide to go their separate ways because reconciliation is impossible.

Determining the best course of action is difficult, and guidance from a therapist can help navigate the course, whatever you choose.

Come alongside an experienced professional to walk you through your circumstance and make sense of the confusion and pain.
