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.
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.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Athens, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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 Athens, GA 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.
Before one can fully understand the reasons why infidelity happens, a comprehension of a couple’s specific situation has to be attained. Infidelity often has its roots in the wide range of personal problems and dilemmas of one partner in a relationship. The complex nature of infidelity pushes many couples to seek professional help in the form of counseling for infidelity. Not surprisingly, the majority of Americans find the idea of extramarital affairs unacceptable in any circumstance. Despite this fact, 25% of all married individuals will commit an act of infidelity during their lifetime.
Risk factors which are commonly associated with infidelity include:
When an act of infidelity is discovered, the bond of trust that is essential to every relationship is very often destroyed. Once the truth has emerged, the betrayed partner will be subjected to a range of extremely painful feelings, such as disbelief, anger, jealousy and extreme anguish.
These painful feelings can often lead to the development of a serious mental trauma. The impact of infidelity can lead to the deterioration of physical and mental health and the quality of life of both partners – family members such as children also suffer greatly.
At Thriveworks Athens we support many couples that have been subjected to the difficult experience that infidelity brings. Due to the extensive experience that our marriage counselors have, we understand how to tailor our counseling to best fit the needs of the client – our counseling for infidelity is designed to respond to the individual needs of every couple.
