When one partner cheats, the other can be left in a world of confusion, terror, trauma, and anxiety. There are few things more difficult to overcome than infidelity. Sometimes it is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Other times it is the very thing that starts a process of healing and reunification. I work with couples every day who are trying to find their way back from betrayal. It is possible! It takes hard work though and dedication to the relationship. The person who cheated needs to do some very deep exploration of themselves to figure out why they strayed. They need to be to explain their behavior in a way that makes sense to their partner such that they can begin to forgive and trust again. This can take a long time. Couples therapy can really help to make this go much smoother and more quickly. Sometimes, out of the worst crisis, a new relationship emerges, one that is happier, more stable, more open, and more loving.

Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
Affairs are deeply life altering and one of, if not the most painful experiences a relationship can endure. The betrayal is in many ways a form of trauma that requires repairing and healing. From working with many couples that have experienced progress with this issue, two things are pivotal for recovery:
1. It's paramount that the injured partner is given the space to express how hurt, disappointed, angry, and in pain they are due to this event. Only until the injured partner "feels felt" (understood fully) will it be possible for them to reach back out to the partner that did the hurting to understand the meaning and why it happened.
2. I'm of the belief that while affairs are catastrophic and extremely difficult, it can also be the very thing that preserves the relationship, it serves as a door to look into what conditions were put in place that allowed for the affair to happen in the first place. This helps the relationship grow, redefine and creates opportunity for a second relationship if both people are committed to the work of repair and curiosity.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Working through infidelity is not impossible. Through hard work on both ends and full communication and working on the reasons why there was infidelity to start with, it can be worked on if that is what the couple so chooses to do. Or maybe you are an individual who has been through this topic and want to have some guidance on where to go next. That is also possible in sessions with me.
