Shock. Rage. Denial.
Have you recently found out your spouse has been having an emotional or physical affair? Are you having trouble sleeping, eating, or concentrating on work? These are common symptoms that people have after the revelation of an affair. You can feel full of anger, then flooded with despair all at once.
The feeling that your entire world has come crashing down can make it hard to breathe, let alone sleep or eat! The sudden loss of the security you once had changed your reality and what you once believed to be safe and sacred.
You are fully capable of finding your way through this… I promise you.
We can help you recover from an affair.
Working with couples that are going through the trauma of recovering from an affair takes special understanding and personalized care. Not all couples will experience affairs in the same way. However, there are parts of treating this trauma that is the same.
People who have been betrayed show some of the same symptoms as people who have experienced traumatic events. Or, have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). They experience anxiety, crying spells, anger, irritability, hypervigilance, triggers, reliving of the event, and fears. The treatment for PTSD after infidelity is the same for someone who has experienced a violent, life-threatening event. Yes, it is possible to get PTSD from an affair.
For the betrayer, there are also fears of the future, confusion about commitment, and staying in their current relationship. They can also experience anger towards their partner, remorse, guilt, insecurity, and grieving the affair.
How can we help?
We specialize in helping couples recover from an affair and the trauma and betrayal that often follows it’s discovery. It’s critical that your therapist understand what it takes to recover from such a trauma. We provide an emotionally safe and judgment-free zone to work with both partners to recover and heal.
Research has shown that couples therapy is the best option when new information has put your life on hold and you feel like you cannot breathe. We offer crisis sessions to offer immediate crisis solutions. And, arrange for referrals to other professionals, as necessary.
In addition, we can help you work on your marriage even if your partner isn't ready to commit to therapy just yet. In fact, there are many effective ways of improving your marriage by working on self-awareness and growth. We look forward to getting to know you. And, assisting you in having a long-lasting relationship that you deserve.
