Let’s Talk Infidelity

The disclosure of infidelity and betrayal is among the most devastating and painful experiences that couples face. It is also one of the most challenging and complicated problems encountered in therapy. This Live and Interactive via ZOOM 2 days will explore the theory of infidelity and it’s causes, the symptoms and relational impacts of betrayal and loss of trust, models of treatment and present a range of intervention strategies for helping couples repair, rejuvenate and rebuild their relationships.

Some of the challenges encountered in treatment that will be addressed are:
·       how much detail should be disclosed and why;

·       how to help with shattered trust;

·       dealing with hypervigilance, hyper-arousal and anxiety;

·       how to develop the skill of emotional attunement and build empathy between the partners.

(1) understand the theory and causes of betrayal in committed relationships;

(2) Identify key thematic considerations in understanding and treating infidelity, including pitfalls to avoid;
