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 Virginia Beach, 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 Virginia Beach, 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.

Recovering from an Affair – Adultery and Infidelity Therapists in Virignia Beach

Adultery affects families and couples all over America and counseling for infidelity has become a major source of help and healing for many folk trying to patch their lives and relationships back together.

Effects of Adultery

The main effect of one partner being unfaithful to another is betrayal. Adultery makes the betrayed party feel worthless, unattractive, useless, embarrassed and ashamed. People have committed suicide over being betrayed. People have murdered over being betrayed. Counseling for infidelity is one of the tools that both the betrayed and the betrayer can use to try to get through this pain the best that they can.

Infidelity Counseling

Counseling for infidelity and adultery can help in the following ways:

  • Assessing the damage. Adultery can cause trauma. There is a real chance that the betrayed party is suffering from PTSD. This needs to be dealt with professionally.
  • Learning how to apologize properly and how to accept the apology. Both parties need to learn forgiveness—both of themselves and of the other. A counselor can help with this.
  • Helping to assess what each partner wants from the other—sexually and emotionally.

Counseling for adultery covers the above themes and many more in order to try to get a relationship back on track again. For those looking for this kind of support in their relationships, they should feel free to look at our services and contact us.
