Infidelity Counseling
In a relationship, infidelity is viewed as the highest form of betrayal to your partner. It can be severely damaging to both you and your partner as well as the people involved in the affair. In some situations, infidelity can end the relationship, but if the couple decides to seek counseling together there are strategies they can use to begin repairing and rebuilding the relationship. Going through the process of infidelity counseling can shine a light on deep flaws in the relationship, thereby improving communication and making the relationship stronger than before.
What is Infidelity?
The term infidelity has different meanings depending on who is describing it, but a good way to look at it is anything that is causing someone to be unfaithful to the relationship. Infidelity will often manifest itself as an affair, but it can also be an addiction or even a non-sexual emotional affair that pulls your attention away from your current relationship. Because the very nature of infidelity is in opposition to your spouse or partner it is often kept as a closely guarded secret. For this reason, when the infidelity is discovered there is so much shame, betrayal, and guilt that the relationship often ends or things can become extremely hostile.
