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.
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.

No relationship is perfect. In fact, most are far from perfect. However, sometimes an exceptionally destructive challenge threatens—and often succeeds—to end it all: infidelity. When someone cheats, everybody suffers from the consequences: the cheater, the victim of the betrayal, and others who are deeply involved in the relationship such as any kids. Each of these individuals struggle in some way, whether they’re grappling to understand why, deciding what to do next, or dealing with all of the pain that has been unleashed.

In addition, these individuals are more likely to engage in self-harm and go on to develop illnesses like addiction or substance abuse. They also commonly make drastic changes to make up for their loss and diminished self-esteem: for example, they might go on a crash diet or work out excessively.
Infidelity can wreak complete and utter havoc on an individual. It can turn your whole world upside down and cause you to question everything you know to be true, and in turn, suffer from the negative side effects listed above. The good news is that you can get help. A counselor at Thriveworks Waltham can help you to address all of the emotions this experience may provoke and determine your next steps. Ultimately, they will help you heal from this betrayal.
Infidelity counseling is an approach to therapy, specifically designed to help couples or individuals cope after infidelity. While each experience is tailored to the individual(s), this typically involves opening up about one’s feelings related to the betrayal, determining the best plan for moving forward (either together or separately), and beginning these next steps.
Furthermore, the counselor can help his or her clients feel comfortable and confident in who they are, again. As mentioned above, being betrayed in this way is often a blow to the self-esteem. A professional can help clients to find that self-love and acceptance again, without the crash dieting or extreme exercise regimens.
