After an affair, couples often feel lost, shocked, angry, numb, and desperate for answers. You may not know whether you want to stay or go. I help couples navigate the painful aftermath of betrayal by re-establishing the boundaries, repairing trust, and rebuilding connection.

Infidelity
Gottman couples therapy can help couples deal with betrayal and build trust.
Infidelity causes severe emotional, psychological, and relational damage, often triggering trauma responses similar to PTSD in the betrayed partner.
Impact on the Betrayed Partner
Trauma and Mental Health: Intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, hypervigilance, depression, and anxiety are common.
Loss of Self-Worth: Intense self-doubt, shame, and a shattered sense of identity frequently occur.
Physical Toll: Disrupted sleep, weight changes, and stress-related physical ailments can emerge.
Impact on the Unfaithful Partner
Guilt and Shame: Overwhelming remorse, regret, and self-recrimination.
Isolation: Fear of judgment and social alienation from friends or family.
Impact on the Relationship
Erosion of Trust: Complete breakdown of emotional safety and open communication.
High Risk of Separation: Infidelity is a leading cause of divorce, though recovery is possible with dedicated professional couples therapy.

There are few things more painful than having an important person in your life be unfaithful. The aftermath impacts one's life in significant ways, and often it can be confusing to work through the myriad of feelings associated with the betrayal.
