Starting Infidelity counseling

What is Infidelity counseling?

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship.The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.

How does Infidelity counseling work?

Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.

Is Infidelity counseling conducted in person or online?

Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does Infidelity counseling last?

The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Knoxville, TN typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist, considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.

Need more help deciding?

In America, an estimated 25% of all married individuals will commit an act of infidelity during their married life. Infidelity occurs in essentially all cultures that have been studied, spanning all social classes, and as a phenomenon has a long and pervasive history. However, despite its high incidence, infidelity is condemned by 90% of all married individuals in America.

The paradox of infidelity being widely practiced and widely condemned is undoubtedly noteworthy. There are many different factors that contribute to a person’s decision to cheat – the reasons are personal and differ from one couple to the next. There is no exhaustive list of factors that can cause unfaithfulness in a relationship, although some common triggers may include emotional or sexual dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, or preexisting conflicts over matters unrelated to betrayal. The individuality of circumstances that lead to infidelity creates a situation in which professional help in the form of counseling for infidelity can be of great advantage to a relationship.

The Challenges Of Infidelity

The consequences of an act of infidelity can be truly devastating for the victim. Relationships are built upon mutual trust and when this bond is broken by the one you love there is a cascade of intensely emotional responses that develop. Some of the strongest emotions that will be experienced include grief and anger; distrust almost always ensues and is one of the most destructive elements for a relationship during this turbulent period. Distrust causes the victim to obsess about the act of infidelity, making the individual focus his or her energy on rehashing the events, facts, as well as actions that caused the act of disloyalty – the victim will feel the need to control exactly what the perpetrator is doing, who they are with or where they are at all times.

Counseling For Infidelity – Can It Help?

The act of infidelity can cause the victim to experience an emotional rollercoaster that will be hard to manage – an environment that provides a forum to air your emotions and thoughts with a neutral guide can be liberating for the grieving partner. A professional counselor for infidelity will do just that – he or she will act as an impartial judge, guiding the communication and discussion towards an amicable solution for both parties. Regardless of the outcome, a good counselor will strive to facilitate the best possible resolution for the affected couple.

I have been taking my 7 year old grandson to see Justin. He had horrible anxiety. It saddened us to see how bad it was. He had developed tics. Justin was absolutely wonderful with him. He has overcome most of his fears and tics have went away. I would highly recommend Justin.

Going to Thriveworks for the past year and a half has been the most rewarding counseling experience I’ve had. Seeing Lindsey has had the single biggest impact on my emotional and mental health, especially in healing from past childhood abuse and trauma, and ongoing PTSD. Out of multiple counselors in two states, Lindsey Chandler is by far the one with whom I’ve felt the most accepted, supported, and encouraged by. I am grateful for the Thriveworks space, as it is not at all clinical nor intimidating, but entirely warn and welcoming. It is nearly a scent-free environment, which is vital for the comfort of any highly sensitive persons. I choose to drive an hour from home each visit specifically to stay loyal to a place where I finally feel safe and valued—where in the past commuting five minutes from home to work with a therapist felt like a chore and an ordeal—and I will continue to do so as I work further toward a healthier me.

My son saw “Mrs. Amanda” as he affectionately called her shortly after my marriage ended in a high conflict divorce. My son was 6 years old at the time, so it was difficult for him to process his feelings without knowing how to communicate with us. Amanda Gilliam was always there to listen and provide outlets for him to speak openly about his feelings in a way that could be understood. She is top knotch in my book and I would highly recommend her as a professional!

I was in sessions with Justin for about a year and highly recommend him. He has a deep grasp of psychology that he is constantly refreshing and renewing, and he was able to help me a lot in understanding what was driving the emotions and feelings of myself and close family members. He was a great help.
