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.
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 Orlando, FL 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.
When a spouse is unfaithful to their significant other, it means that something is amiss in that relationship. Confident, happy, loving marriages do not see one partner or the other in it looking for something else elsewhere in someone else’s arms. There are always reasons for this and counseling for infidelity can help to determine what those reasons are. Some of the more common reasons include:
- Emotional disconnection from their spouse
- Boredom
- Dissatisfaction with their sex life.
Many times one partner in a relationship will end up being unfaithful after a major event such as the birth of a child or moving in together. Whatever the reasons for adultery and infidelity, though, the damage that can be done is horrendous. Betrayal brings out the worst feelings possible in any one, and being cheated on causes such upset, anger, angst, guilt, and depression that often professional help like counseling for adultery is considered the best recourse.
