Trust Takes Time: Healing from Infidelity through Couples Therapy

Rebuilding Trust

Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. When that trust is broken, it can feel like the relationship itself has been shattered. Infidelity is an extremely painful experience that leaves both partners feeling betrayed, angry, and confused. However, with professional guidance, many couples find that they can work through infidelity and build an even stronger relationship.

First Step to Healing

Discovering that your partner has been unfaithful can be extremely painful and traumatic. Feelings of disbelief, anger, sadness and betrayal are perfectly normal reactions to such a profound breach of trust. The one who strayed may also be flooded with intense shame, regret, and guilt as the magnitude of their actions sets in. Having an open conversation in a safe space is the first step to finding a resolution and eventual healing.

With a lot of work, understanding, and commitment to rebuilding trust, many couples are able to heal and recover after an affair. Other couples may decide to healthiest next step is to part ways. Each situation is unique and couples therapy can help you to gain clarity on your situation.
