An emotional affair can be as debilitating as a physical affair in a committed relationship. Finding the origin of why the partner cheated and then follow up with healng techniques for the relationship as well as for the partner who strayed.
Although infidelity is a common upsetting factor in many relationships, it may be reconcilable with guidance in order to help restore trust in the relationship. In the case of a breakup allow me to help you figure out how to learn from the experience to help you do better in the next relationship.
Infidelity is most often acting out sexually. But, any activity that is hidden to one's partner is experienced as a betrayal of trust. Emotion Focused Couples Therapy is, in my experience, the best way to resolve these trust issues in a relationship.
