Infidelity counseling FAQs

What is infidelity counseling?

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.

How does infidelity counseling work?

Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.

Is infidelity counseling conducted in person or online?

Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Durham, NC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does infidelity counseling last?

The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Durham, NC typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.

Adultery Help, Infidelity Therapy – Counselors in Durham

Discovering that your partner or spouse has been cheating on you is one of the worst things that can happen. The feelings and emotions brought up from such a betrayal cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, infidelity and adultery are everyday issues that affect thousands of couples and families, and counseling for infidelity at Thriveworks in Durham is now something that more and more people are seeking in their bids to get their lives back on track again.

Myriad Impacts of Adultery

It’s not just the action of adultery itself that hurts, it’s the feeling of betrayal from someone that you love. It’s that sense of knowing that something is broken somewhere and may never be the same again. When adultery hits a couple or a family, there is always an underlying reason for it beyond the actual act itself. These can be:

  • Lack of communication
  • Not being there for each other anymore
  • Letting the relationship get boring and stale
  • Feelings of neglect
  • Outside pressures (stress, work) that one partner can’t share with the other

Whatever the reasons are, it’s important to know that it’s these which need working on. Adultery is not the disease itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying deeper issue within the dynamics of the couple. Getting some counseling for adultery will help to find out the root cause of the issue and seek to try to repair that.

Counseling for infidelity or adultery will also help to make you understand some of the feelings that you’re experiencing as either the faithful partner or the adulterer. These feelings can be any or all of the following:

  • Anger
  • Guilt
  • Despair
  • Feelings of inadequacy/unattractiveness
  • Feelings of being lost and alone.

Time to Move Forward

These feelings are typical of couples affected by infidelity, and counseling will help to deal with them in a constructive way, as well as help you to recognize the root causes of your issues and offer plans on how to forgive each other and/or move forward.

If you’re feeling lost and think that counseling for adultery might be something that could help you, please contact us by phone and we’ll be happy to give you more information.

Nothing to improve. I always appreciate Darryl. He is an exceptional therapist. He is insightful, listens carefully, is always calm and sometimes funny which is what helps me relax. He is super smart. Occasionally, he shares his own experience. I like this because I’ve had other therapists who are so strictly clinical I feel as if it is they and me. Darryll has helped me enormously and I’m so grateful.
