Has your world turned upside down from deep betrayal?

Are you

Confused about staying or leaving
Having difficulty being around each other
Feeling anxious and obsessive
Feeling guilt and shame and don’t know what to do to make it better
So angry that it ‘s hard to talk about what happened

These are typical responses to the disclosure of infidelity

Recovering from Infidelity: Yes, it is possible.

Putting the pieces back together may feel impossible but believe it or not more couples survive infidelity than end their relationship.

For the Betrayed Partner

Shock and Numbness: Difficulty believing what happened.
Emotional Rollercoaster: Intense anger, hurt, shame, and confusion.
Obsessive Thoughts: Constant replaying of events, searching for signs of further betrayal.
Trust Issues: Difficulty trusting your partner and feel you are living with a stranger.
