EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Infidelity indicates a complex interplay of emotional wounds and relational dynamics. Since adultery is woven into the fabric of attachment ties, it can evoke strong emotions of betrayal, abandonment, and insecurity that relive the wounds from previous relationship breakups. Like a shattered mirror, the discovery of betrayal fractures the foundation of trust, plunging individuals into a whirlwind of emotional turmoil. Therapy becomes a refuge amidst the storm, offering a space to navigate the labyrinth of emotions and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering open communication, rebuilding trust, and addressing underlying attachment wounds, individuals and couples can embark on a journey of healing and reconciliation, forging a path towards greater understanding, resilience, and intimacy.

Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
When working with clients dealing with infidelity, my approach is centered around fostering a safe and supportive environment where all parties involved can express themselves openly and honestly. I understand that infidelity is a complex issue that can elicit a wide range of emotions such as anger, betrayal, guilt, and sadness.
First and foremost, I aim to validate the feelings of all individuals affected by the infidelity, whether they are the betrayed partner or the one who engaged in the infidelity. Each person's experience is unique, and it's crucial to honor their emotions without judgment.
Next, I facilitate open and respectful communication between the individuals involved. This involves helping them understand the underlying factors that may have contributed to the infidelity, such as relationship dissatisfaction, communication issues, or personal vulnerabilities. By exploring these factors in a safe space, clients can gain insight into their own behaviors and the dynamics of their relationship.
I also work with clients to rebuild trust and repair the relationship if that is their goal. This often involves setting clear boundaries, improving communication skills, and addressing underlying issues that may have contributed to the infidelity. Trust-building exercises and techniques for rebuilding intimacy may also be incorporated into therapy sessions.
However, I recognize that not all relationships can or should be salvaged after infidelity. In cases where the clients decide to end the relationship, I support them through the process of healing and moving forward separately. This may involve helping them cope with the grief and loss associated with the end of the relationship, as well as assisting them in developing healthy coping mechanisms and setting goals for the future.
Ultimately, my approach to infidelity is focused on facilitating healing, growth, and understanding for all parties involved, while empowering clients to make decisions that align with their values and well-being.

As a couples therapist i have worked with couples who have experienced infidelity. This can be a challenge to work through even when both parties are willing to repair and commit because of the emotional intensity.. Working with a couples therapist can provide the support and process to work through this pattern.
