Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
What drives us astray? Why can't we stop? It behaves much like an addiction doesn't it? That thing that even when we wish we could stop, even though it might damage or end something important to us we seemingly can't stop, can't control it. What is it feeding in us? What is it letting us escape from? No, it is not about anyone else, it is is you. Shall we go digging?

Jue Wang
Counsellor/Therapist, MCP, RCC, CCC
Most couples find infidelity unacceptable in a committed relationship. However, many people still admitted that they had been engaged in sexual affairs while in an exclusive, committed relationship.
In recent years, polyamorous relationships have become the new trend; most people are still looking for an exclusive relationship.

Infidelity
The initial shock of infidelity is shattering to the hurt partner. It feels like a profound loss. It turns your sense of reality upside down. Not only do you feel betrayed, but you begin to question whether you can trust your own perceptions. The world no longer seems to make sense. It feels enormously difficult to recover from. You may feel like you are going crazy but you're not. Whatever you are feeling is a normal response to a traumatizing situation. For the unfaithful partner, you will likely be experiencing a torrent of conflicting feelings ranging from relief that the secret is out to feelings of impatience "I've told you everything and nothing I do or say makes any difference to you", to anxiety and guilt and feeling like no-one is there for you.
Partners are equally responsible for the relationship dynamic the brought them to this point. However each person is accountable for the decision they made, ie., to stray outside of the relationship or to shut down and withdraw.
One of the key questions couples will be faced with once the secret is out is "should I stay or should I go". Counselling can help you sort through the complexities of this question and decide if this person is right for you.
I invite you to book a free 15 minute consultation with me.

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.
