Affairs and infidelity are unfortunately common occurrences in many relationships. Healing the wound from an affair and rebuilding trust is essential if couples decide to stay together

Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
I am a relationship specialist. Did you know that the outcome of the relationship does not hinge on whether there was an affair? Affairs can be overcome, but they need to be thoroughly understood, not only from the perspective of the unfaithful partner and their dynamics, but also seeing its effect on the betrayed partner, and any relationship dynamics that weaken the commitment system. Affairs cause betrayal trauma, and that trauma needs to be talked about, faced and healed for healthy reconnection to happen. This can happen and trust can be rebuilt, but please reach out for help soon before more damage happens by not knowing how to handle things. The outside relationship has to end before therapy can begin. If you are ambivalent, I offer "Directional Therapy", and this provides a process where you both seek clarity and confidence in your decision-making, rather than jumping into a commitment of psychotherapy. This is often quite helpful as a first stage.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
I have worked with many couples where this has been an issue. The first thing that must be handled, if the partner who was cheated on wants the relationship to continue, is to determine if there is real commitment on both sides, and if both are willing and able to have real, meaningful discussions about what was not working for each of them prior to the affair.

Infidelity can create depression, anxiety, and negatively impact mental health. Whether you have experienced the pain of learning about infidelity of your significant other or you are struggling with guilt, shame, and regret related to infidelity, it can be detrimental to your well-being. Therapy can be a great place to get help, support, and learn tools to recover. If I can help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
