Starting Infidelity counseling in Abingdon

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 Abingdon, VA 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 Abingdon, VA typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.

Infidelity and Adultery Therapy – Counselors and Therapists in Bristol, VA

If your marriage is suffering because of infidelity, there is help. Therapists and counselors at Thriveworks are professionally licensed and credentialed and have worked with couples who have experienced infidelity in their relationships. A therapist will work with you to uncover other underlying problems in the marriage, help find resolution to the infidelity and work on strategies to help the marriage become strong again.

Reasons for Infidelity

It is devastating for the victim of infidelity to find out the person he trusted more than anyone else in the world broke an emotional bond. There are many emotions that roil around, including anger, grief and distrust. One of the first questions a person may ask is what caused the spouse to cheat. The following are some of the reasons that people have chosen to commit infidelity.

  • One of the most common reasons people commit adultery is because of a lack of sexual satisfaction in the relationship. Men and women often have affairs to improve their sex lives. Even though the relationship with a spouse is enjoyable in other ways, the sex is not fulfilling.
  • People want more sexual encounters than they currently have in their relationship.
  • Some spouses look for emotional intimacy as well as physical intimacy. They feel that an emotional connection is missing with their partner. In addition, some individuals feel that their relationship is growing apart; instead of stating what their needs are to their partner, they turn to affairs.
  • People claim that they fall out of love with their spouses.
  • The Internet offers fantasies online easily. Many websites are available where people can meet, and there are no questions asked.
  • Many people want to run from their problems instead of discussing them with their spouses. They often go into affairs for emotional reasons, which makes a coworker or a friend with a sympathetic ear seem desirable for an infidelity.
  • Facebook has contributed to infidelity, because people are able to meet others online. Some people contact their high school love and try to reignite the flame. The fantasy of “the grass is always greener” on the other side is a big factor in infidelity.
  • Partners in relationships may do the same thing day in and day out, including behind the closed doors of the bedroom. A lack of communication and intimacy results in boredom for many people, and they turn to experimenting with others.
  • When people are not married for the right reasons or don’t have much in common, they may run off to find somebody else who they find has more of the same likes and dislikes.
  • Some people have issues, such as a gain in weight as they grow older. The other spouse may opt to have an affair with somebody younger and more in shape.
  • When a person needs to be constantly reassured that they are loved, appreciated and wanted because of insecurities, the spouse may look for an affair. Sometimes the spouse feels that his partner is much too needy and becomes disinterested.
  • With the amount of travel for business and many people living elsewhere because of their jobs, the long periods away from a spouse may lead to an affair.

Tips for Victims of Infidelity

If you found out that your spouse had an affair, you may feel like you were just punched in the stomach. There are many emotions the victim of infidelity experiences, from anger and panic to betrayal and a sense of loss. The following are some tips that may help you through this difficult time.

  • Identify the emotions that you are experiencing. You should allow yourself to try to understand them and know they are normal.
  • Find time in your hectic daily routine to give yourself the chance to clear your mind. You can benefit from exercise, meditation or a walk.
  • Keep a journal or call a friend to help you deal with the feelings you have. However, if you find that the negativity of the situation is not going away even with the support of family and friends, it would be wise to seek professional help.
  • Speak to your partner about your emotions and the pain you are dealing with.

Can Counseling for Infidelity Help

If you’re experiencing the emotional rollercoaster as the result of infidelity, it’s important to vent your feelings in a safe and secure environment. A counselor will act as an impartial arbiter when you’re dealing with infidelity, guiding you and your partner toward resolution. The solution may involve separation, or it may be reconciliation. Regardless of the outcome, a counselor will strive to facilitate the best-possible resolution for you and your spouse.

Some positive news comes from a 2000 study by Dr. Shirley Glass, a psychologist who worked on redefining the nature of infidelity. She found that 71 percent of the couples she had seen in therapy after infidelity stayed together in the marriage.

At Thriveworks in Bristol, VA, a professional counselor or therapist will offer you and your partner support in dealing with infidelity and work with you to help foster a discussion about it. In addition, a therapist help you to identify other possible problems in the marriage, gain trust in your partner again, deal with feelings and needs in the marriage and work on ways to make the relationship strong again. Call Thriveworks Bristol at (423) 822-5099 today for an appointment, or go online to schedule your appointment today ,

I highly recommend Trish! She is very helpful, kind, compassionate and excellent at getting down to the roots of the problem. I have made more progress with her than I have with multiple therapists in several different cities. P.S--EMDR therapy sounds totally crazy, but it has significantly helped me. Give it a try!

Dr Mike Pilcher took me under his wing and coached me through one of the biggest decisions of my life...opening a new business. At one point...well more than once...I felt like pulling my hair out and his calm demeanor and no BS approach really helped me get focused and confident. I was able to really pour on the steam and my business is doing well as a result. Dr. P is a great counselor and a man I respect. Call him...I still do to this day.
