Description
Description:
If you work with couples, you’re no stranger to infidelity. And because healing from infidelity is challenging, it behooves us to have a clear roadmap of the territory. We’ll go over an array of post-affair issues, including ways to deal with intense emotions, whether to discuss the details of the betrayal, how to begin rebuilding trust in the aftermath of the discovery; whether to have clinical ultimatums about ending affairs, how to handle setbacks; and how to deal with residual feelings for the affair partner. We’ll explore a step-by-step treatment plan and discuss how to tailor it to each couple’s unique needs.
Educational Objectives:
- Review what both the unfaithful and betrayed spouse must do to heal from infidelity.
- Discuss & practice what to do when disclosure is made during an individual session.
- Name and discuss methods for overcoming the most common impasses in helping couples heal from infidelity.
