Infidelity and Affairs within relationships and pathways to regaining trust

How do we start to explore infidelity within counselling sessions?

Allow the betrayed partner space to express anger, grief, confusion or numbness.

The unfaithful partner must be prepared to listen without being defensive or minimising their partner's upset or the extent of the effects of the infidelity.

It is perfectly normal for trust  to feel shattered at first and healing can often take months or years.

Trust returns in layers, initially around small day to day matters and then gradually around larger issues

Rituals of connection such as daily check ins, rebuilding intimacy and spending quality time together can help a couple reset and move forward creating new positive memories.

“Hi Steve. Hope you are well. I just thought that I would let you know that I've gone past 90 days now and I am feeling better than ever. I no longer consider myself addicted to sex. I still have temptations, but I have learnt how to deal with them and do so, day by day. I am doing well at the moment and really enjoying life. Thanks so much for everything you have done to help me through this problem. Should I need any help in the future, then I will be back in touch.”

Male, Barnsley

“Since working with you on my porn addiction problem I have finally started to understand who I am and what I need in life to be fulfilled. I can now see how I was that needy child and how that child has followed me into being an adult and how I have used the feelings associated with my porn use to help me manage in life, but actually all it has done is almost destroy my life and I have lost my closest friend and partner due to this addiction.”

Male, Barnsley

“Thanks for making me realise just how much my past baggage has impacted on the here and now. Our relationship has taken a turn for the better since starting the sessions.”

Female, Doncaster

“I'd always assumed that I was addicted to sex, but now I understand that the porn or feelings it produced helped me cope with my life and it had nothing to do with real sex.”

Male, Doncaster
