Therapist in South Orange, NJ for Overcoming Infidelity and Betrayal
Betrayal is one of the most painful and destructive acts to a relationship. When we think of betrayal, infidelity usually comes to mind. The rates of sexual and emotional infidelity are unfortunately very high, and the numbers for women are catching up to those of men. Affairs do not necessarily destroy marriages. In fact, in many cases, affairs are the catalyst for creating healthier, more committed and happier relationships.
Critical and immediate goals to early sessions involving infidelity:
Help each of you start to heal from the trauma that is experienced.
Figure out what led to the affair (see possible causes below).
Determine whether each of you wishes to repair the marriage. If one or both do not, figure out the best ways to separate in a healthy manner. If both of you wish to repair the relationship, then the work begins to regain trust and to fix the malfunctioning aspects of the relationship.
For over 25 years, Dr. Tamara and Dr. Mark have assisted hundreds of couples and individuals overcome, heal and thrive following infidelity. We help you:
Identify the type and meaning of the affair;
Determine whether the relationship has a solid future;
Focus on healing and moving forwards.
