Therapy With The One Who Cheats RECORDING

Many therapists dedicate much therapy time helping betrayed partners heal deep emotional wounds in the wake of an affair. Therapy is often lopsided in a victim–perpetrator model, dealing with the injury of the betrayal. Less attention is typically paid to helping the partners who had the affair, one-night stand, or online infidelity, especially regarding why and how it happened.

This workshop will give you a more nuanced understanding of the motivations for the infidelity and present practical interventions around the underlying meaning of the cheating and what it means about the relationship. This workshop is appropriate for anyone treating the individual or the couple recovering from an affair. We will incorporate Imago dialogue, validation and empathy and challenge therapist bias, and look at countertransference as a tool in the treatment of the relationship and the cheating partner.
