Description

Few topics spike our anxiety and judgment like infidelity. But one of the realities of living in the digital age is that it's easier than ever to cheat—and easier than ever to get caught. Betrayal has the power to rock the very foundation of a relationship: partners likely feel lost, overwhelmed with emotions, and unsure of their next steps. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to effectively support both the betrayed and betraying partners and navigate common barriers to healing. Using a compassionate, multi-stage approach, we’ll explore different skills to help couples restore trust, foster emotional repair, and move toward post-traumatic growth and renewed connection after betrayal. You’ll also learn: 

  • Reflection questions to ask both partners 
  • How to help partners cope with flashbacks and intrusive thoughts 
  • How our culture shapes our views of infidelity  
  • How to help partners decide whether, when, and how to talk about the infidelity with family and friends
