Only the bravest of couples come in after infidelities to repair their partnerships. This is extremely hard work for the couple and very gratifying for the therapists here at Psychotherapy Works. Often a betrayed partner feels she or he has been shot out of familiar blue skies and damned into a very dark, lonely, scary place. He or she is often experiencing PTSD-type (post traumatic stress disorder) symptoms as discovering cheating behaviors can be extremely traumatic to the unsuspecting partner. By stark contrast, the cheating partner is often experiencing a strange kind of relief at ending his or her double life, yearning to have a new beginning with their partner (yet not knowing if forgiveness will ever be possible). He or she is having a very opposite experience – out of the shadows and now in the light of honesty. Our therapists are well-trained with concrete therapeutic techniques and tools to help recovering couples HEAL. This is not a quick process but we have hundreds of success stories of couples’ who have made it through. All of us are humbled by your bravery to come in– to trust our training and our expertise so that you can do the hard work necessary to recover and begin again.
