Working With Infidelity: After An Affair, Who Owns The Relationship?

Cellphone records, email passwords, intimate details of when & where—after an affair, does one person gain the right to whatever information they want? And even if they do, is demanding such information wise? Who decides if—and what—the children are told?

Supporting the dignity and humanity of BOTH parties gives a couple the best chance to reconcile, should they want to. The idea that the Betrayer has to beg forgiveness for an undefined time period and accept whatever relationship the Betrayed demands is a disservice to both parties. And it typically leads to client dropouts or treatment failure.

Successful treatment of infidelity cases must also involve the Betrayer’s clear insights about the emotional, psychological, and practical reasons for breaking their promise of fidelity.

In three fast-moving sessions, participants will learn fresh ways of looking at affairs, fidelity, and sexuality—so that they can better evaluate patients, sort out individual and relationship issues, and help people heal from the experiences of powerlessness, disorientation, grief, rage, and damaged self-esteem that are common on both sides of betrayal.

Session 1: The Context of Infidelity — Relationally & Psychodynamically
Session 2: The Aftermath of Betrayal — And Responses to It
Session 3: Recovering From Betrayal; Negotiating Sexuality
